Wine Advent calendar: 5 reasons to give your partner a Flakon tasting box
The festive season is fast approaching, and you’re looking for the perfect gift to surprise your other half? You want something special and unforgettable that will bring him moments of joy and discovery throughout December. But there’s a problem: gift ideas abound, and all Advent calendars seem the same. You’re fed up with kirsch chocolates and spa gift vouchers that your partner accepts with a big smile so as not to disappoint you, when deep down you know he’d give his right arm if you stopped buying him matching Mr and Mrs “Insert your names here” mugs.
Luckily, Flakon is here to save the day: the 24-wine Advent calendar is the answer to all your problems. Whether your partner is a seasoned connoisseur, a keen enthusiast or a curious newcomer, he’s about to embark on an unforgettable journey through the vineyards of France and beyond that will turn him into an expert in the comfort of his own home. Here are five reasons why it’s the must-have gift for him!

1. A wine journey through the heart of French terroir: 12 wines from France
The Flakon 24-wine Advent calendar is designed for wine lovers, flavour explorers and curious people everywhere. The first half of this exclusive tasting box is dedicated to the terroirs of our beautiful country: France (yes, yes, baguettes). Whether or not you know French vineyards, this romp through the land of cheese is a chance to discover or rediscover the incredible richness of French wines, celebrated for their diversity as much as their excellence.
Your itinerary has been carefully planned by our wine cartographers (and you can be sure they know a thing or two about wine) to amaze you every day with the incredible generosity of French wine: from iconic Bordeaux reds to distinctive Loire whites. From subtle Burgundy reds to the power of the Côtes du Rhône. From the remarkable complexity of Alsace grape varieties to the sun-warmed reaches of Corsica, the Isle of Beauty. Your other half isn’t in for a leisurely stroll, but an aromatic odyssey through 1,000 years of winemaking history.
2. Around the world in 80 aromas: 12 wines from around the globe
The Flakon 24-wine Advent calendar doesn’t stop at the border. The second half of the tasting box will put your man’s adventurous spirit to the test with a selection of 12 wines from around the world. They come from 11 different countries renowned for their legendary wines. Each vial is an invitation to explore far-off places and discover new tasting horizons. Make sure you’re ready for the journey, though: tasting a wine from the other side of the world promises to reveal a whole new colour.
From exuberant Italian wines to heady Chilean wines, with a stop at the island wines of New Zealand, this calendar takes you on a wine journey around the globe. Your partner will discover the unique characteristics of each wine region and the aromatic notes that give every grape variety, terroir and climate around the world its charm and complexity.
3. A tasting every day: the magic of Advent
Giving the Flakon 24-wine Advent calendar means giving a daily tasting experience. Each day (even first thing in the morning, if you enjoy walking at the crack of dawn), you’ll take another step together on your wine journey. You see, while there’s a wonderful variety of wine Advent calendars, none places as much emphasis on learning to taste wine as the Flakon calendar.
This journey isn’t about knocking back a row of shots as quickly as possible. It’s a chance to learn: with the step-by-step online guide and your tasting notebook, you’ll gradually master the art of wine tasting (here’s a deliciously entertaining preview!)
- Train your nose and palate to recognise subtler, more complex aromas and flavours.
- Learn to tell a wine’s age at a glance simply from its colour and the brightness of its highlights.
- Identify a grape variety by its distinctive aromas and flavours.
- Learn to judge the stature of a wine estate with just one nostril, from the range of aromas in its wines.
- Dare to say, “I detect aromas of undergrowth with a hint of flint and wild boar leather,” without wavering in front of 25 guests.
Imagine the lively conversations and debates about terroirs, climates and food and wine pairings that this tasting box will inspire.
4. Quality guaranteed: Flakon wines
