Vinebox is one of the most popular wine boxes out there, and for good reason. The wine comes in glass tubes and the packaging is gorgeous. You can choose from two exclusive boxes—the Cozy Collection, whichfeatures 12 rich reds, and the Chill Collection, which is filled with white wines, rosés, and chilled reds.

We love this festive way to discover new wine, and it's also fun to use each night's pick as inspiration for dinner or dessert plans. Each includes 12 tubes of wine (holding a glass each or 100 milliliters) that were carefully selected by Vinebox's certified sommeliers. The wine variety is excellent as well. Wine lovers can also opt to combine both boxes with the 24 Nights of Wine Advent calendar.

The 2023 collection features brand-new packaging with some adorable artwork that's pretty enough to leave out on your counter throughout the holiday season. It's also the first year the Vinebox is including domestic wines. This wine advent calendar has sold out seven years in a row, so don't wait too long to order.

In Good Taste specializes in sample-size kits highlighting various grapes and regions from France, Italy, Portugal, and California, and the brand's wine Advent calendar is a top pick this year. If you consider yourself more of a seasoned wine drinker or wine enthusiast, this is the calendar to purchase this holiday season.

Instead of just 12 days of wine, we like that this calendar is more like a traditional Advent calendar: There are 24 miniature 187-milliliter bottles (about one glass of wine each) to enjoy during the December days leading up to Christmas. It includes a combination of reds, whites, and rosés from a light sauvignon blanc to a unique Italian Montepulciano, all of which are worth breaking out your best wine glasses.

The variety in this calendar really sets it apart from the rest. It includes a lovely collection of well-known favorites and adventurous new discoveries to enjoy, all of which you can read about in the provided wine guide. Keep in mind that the In Good Taste calendar has sold out three years in a row, so grab one while you can!

Women-owned Maker Wine is still fairly new but is already making its mark packaging highly-rated canned wine from independent winemakers, female winemakers, and minority-led wineries. Primarily made up of wines from small, award-winning producers, this fun advent calendar includes 12 cans—the equivalent of 4 bottles—and is a mix of red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines.

Modern and whimsical at the same time, this makes a great host or hostess gift (you can add an optional, complimentary gift note on a holiday card) and is a fantastic way to celebrate the season while supporting small wine producers.

We love the variety in this year's collection, which includes some unique selections like sparkling riesling and verdelho—and if you're not familiar with some of the wines or just want to learn more, you can check out the accompanying tasting videos. Between the aluminum canned wines and cardboard box, this wine advent calendar also earns sustainability points for fully recyclable packaging.

Each day is numbered, and you simply open the "door" to discover a new wine. It could be a wine from any region all over the world, but you won’t know until you open it—keeping with the surprise element of traditional kids' calendars.

While there are only 12 bottles in this calendar, they are half bottles, so you get more than one glass of wine from each bottle (375 milliliters).

Wine Advent calendars go fast and they can be tricky to order with availability and shipping varying from state to state, so if you want to take matters into your own hands, we found a particularly festive DIY solution that you can reuse year after year. Shaped like a tree, this calendar will hold 25 mini wine bottles of your choosing. Fill the tree with your favorite bottles from a recent trip—this could become something you collect for all throughout the year—or perhaps bottles from your dream wine region. This also makes a fun gift or cute activity for roommates or couples.

Minimal assembly is required—no tools—so the only real work is deciding on the wines and filling it. It stores flat, so you can put it away with the holiday decorations and pull out again year after year.
