I would bring it still. Introduce it to them and leave the option to them to drink it or not. I see no problem bringing it. Good luck and have fun! I have some wine here, want to come over?

lol maybe:) Report It

  • It shouldn't offend any host, unless drinking isn't a part of the event or part of their lifestyle. Good luck!

    No offense to any host.

    You should be fine. Tell them they can open it that night and share it with others or they can save it for themselves at a later time. This way they can try a little and if they don't like it, the other people there can finish. If they open it later and don't like it, you'll probably never know.

    If you're bringing the wine to drink at the party, then you need to approve it with the hosts. It would be rude to bring the bottle and uncork without their knowing about it. Maybe they have religious or health reasons for not offering drinks at their party.
    If you're bringing the wine as a gift for the hosts, then perhaps you should reconsider - since they aren't drinkers, maybe a houseplant or something more generic. If you're bringing it as a gift, it shouldn't be expected that they will open it for the party - it's theirs to use when and if they wish.
    Good luck.

    It's a kind gesture & your thoughtfulness will be appreciated. If you know what meat is on the menu, that will determine what wine to take. If it's just a gift, a sweet wine would be a great wine for them to start out with. Salute!!!!!!

    It's a party so I don't see how it could offend. Unless it's a party for Alcoholics Anonymous.

    Bring enough for everyone so that they can try it. If they don't know anything about wine, try not go on about the vintage, grape, swirling the glass, smelling the wine, and all the blaggery that can sometimes go with it. That could offend and make them feel stupid. But you don't strike me as someone who would do that.

    Maybe find out what the hosts drink and bring a bottle of that (if they don't drink, try bunch of flowers or box of chocolates). How could they be offended by someone so thoughtful?

    So go for it and enjoy the party.

    It is a Gift..!
    roll with your convictions...

    As long as they are not Muslim, LDS, Jehovah's Witness or a recovering alcoholic and you know it, they would not be offended. Even those who do not drink sometimes keep a bottle of wine on hand for company - as long as they have no religious objection.
    Go to a decent wine store and ask them for recommendations or you can ask someone else who seems to know what they want in the wine aisle at the grocery store. Let them know your price-range first. Some people will open and serve what people bring, others set it aside (since it is a house gift) and then serve whatever they were planning to serve - it depends on the host.

    bring a few different kinds and use it as an ice breaker to start the night off. if your hosts dont know you are bringing it offer it to them as a gift for being such gracious hosts and give them an impromptu tasting of the different kinds you brought.
