Choosing a meaningful bottle of wine for every enophile on your list can be almost as tricky as channeling their taste in accessories. Yet just a little thought given to pairing bottle to personality and taste can yield apt matches. For the traditionalist, you want a classic. For the adventurer, it should be a discovery. For someone who craves being ever in the know, give an inaugural release. And for all those who love to live large, make it a big bottle—maybe an enormous bottle.
