"Parents carry their wine glasses from porch to porch," Parker said. "What you see are plastic pumpkins and crystal."
So what does he recommend as "porch-to-porch" wines? He suggested what he described as two "offbeat, good values" from France.
For a white, Parker chose the 2007 Novellum Chardonnay, selling for $12.99. Critics have awarded high marks to this wine, which comes from respected importer Eric Solomon of European Cellars.
Parker said that while the wine was aged in oak, it's brighter and fresher than many of its California counterparts. I agree.

A good website that I would recommend is oddbins, they do some fabulous gift baskets and gift sets at very reasonable prices.
I have used them for thank you gifts, birthday presents and I will be almost certainly using them this Christmas time.
