Corporate alcohol gifting: how to do it right

For a corporate gift of 12 or more bottles, the simplest route is ReserveBar's Concierge team. You send a spreadsheet of recipients, they send an invoice, and once it is paid they place the orders with licensed retailers that ship to each address. Allow up to 10 business days for delivery, and more for logo engraving and holiday peaks. Bottles can carry your logo or a custom message, and discounts may be available on 12 or more of the same bottle.

A good bottle is a gift people remember, but check three things before you commit:

1. Your company's gift policy and theirs. Some companies cap gift value or don't allow alcohol. A quick check with the recipient's team avoids an awkward return.

2. Age. Every recipient must be 21 or older, and someone 21 or older must sign for the delivery with a photo ID.

3. People who don't drink. Offer an alternative, such as a non-alcoholic option or glassware.

1. Talk to Concierge. Email [email protected] with your budget, headcount and timing. The team can suggest bottles, pair them with an accessory, and even source a bottle that isn't on our website.

2. Fill in the order spreadsheet. There is one for orders with engraving and one without. List each recipient, address and bottle.

3. Send logo files if you want logo engraving. The team needs your logo as both an EPS and a JPEG. If you don't have those, say so in your email and they will help.

4. Pay the invoice. Concierge sends an invoice, collects payment and submits the orders.

5. Track delivery. Each order is filled by a licensed retailer that can ship to that recipient. Allow up to 10 business days for corporate and bulk orders.

1. Text engraving: $50 per bottle. What you need: The message for each bottle, in the spreadsheet.

2. Logo engraving: $60 per bottle. What you need: Your logo as EPS and JPEG files.

Engraving text is copied exactly as you enter it, so proofread names and titles. Emojis, accents and non-English characters can't be engraved.

Count back from the day the gift needs to land. Collecting a clean address list usually takes longer than the order itself, and delivery takes up to 10 business days from when Concierge submits the order. For December gifts, start in early November. Ask Concierge for the last order date for holiday delivery.

Also plan for the calendar. Shipments are picked up and delivered on weekdays, and many offices close in the last week of December.

1. Office or home? An office works if someone 21 or older is there to sign during business hours. With hybrid teams, a home address is often safer. Ask.

2. No PO boxes or military bases. We can't ship to either.

3. US addresses only. We can't ship to Canada, Europe or other countries.

4. Some states can't receive shipments, and some bottles reach fewer states. If a bottle can't reach an address, choose another bottle for that recipient.

If nobody is home, carriers usually try three times. Then the package may go to a pickup point or back to the retailer, and fees can apply to reship it.

1. Engrave it. A name, a date or your logo turns a good bottle into a keepsake.

2. Add a gift message. Gift orders leave out prices and receipts. Handwritten notes aren't available on bulk orders.

3. Pair it. Glassware, barware or candy can go with the bottle. These items may ship separately from the alcohol, so let recipients know two boxes may arrive.

4. Match the bottle to the person. For ideas, see our post on how to choose memorable corporate gifts.

ReserveBar may offer a discount on 12 or more bottles of the same product, and Concierge may be able to discount larger engraved orders. Ask when you request a quote. Prices for each bottle are set by the licensed retailer that fills the order.

How many bottles count as a corporate or bulk order?

12 or more. ReserveBar's Concierge team handles orders of 12 bottles or more by email at [email protected], with an invoice instead of a standard checkout.

Can I get our company logo engraved on bottles?

Yes. Logo engraving is $60 per bottle on bulk and corporate orders. The Concierge team needs the logo as both EPS and JPEG files.

How long do corporate alcohol gift orders take?

Allow up to 10 business days for delivery, including engraved orders. For December gifts, start in early November, since building the address list often takes longer than the order.

Can I send bottles to many different addresses in one order?

Yes. List each recipient and address in the Concierge spreadsheet. Each gift is filled by a licensed retailer that can ship to that address, and someone 21 or older must sign for it.

Are discounts available on bulk alcohol orders?

ReserveBar may offer a discount on 12 or more bottles of the same product. Ask the Concierge team when you request a quote.

Can I include a handwritten note?

Not on bulk or corporate orders. Ask Concierge about gift message options. Gift orders leave out prices and receipts.
