The United States Gold Bureau has taken the tradition of gifting a silver dollar to new heights by teaming with PersonalWine.com to offer the ultimate gift for any occasion--Silver Eagle Wine. The tradition of giving coins as gifts has a long history that crosses many cultures. From the Chinese and Hindus to Russia's tsars and Ottoman caliphs, heads of state have long given coins as presents. The gift of a silver dollar has been a U.S. military tradition for newly commissioned officers since the American Revolution. In 1836 President Andrew Jackson gifted a U.S. proof set to King Ph’ra Nang Klao of Siam and Rome's emperors gifted coins to politicians and heads of state to help ensure loyalty. Silver Eagle® Wine, a limited-production proprietary red blend from the Napa Valley region of California, is delivered in a birch-wood box inlaid with an actual one-ounce Silver American Eagle coin crafted by the United States Mint, which immediately identifies it as a distinctive wine suitable for upscale gifts, mementos, and celebrations. Silver Eagle® Wine is popular for college graduation gifts, weddings, job promotions or corporate gifts, anniversaries, and other major milestones. On the nose, this wine bursts with a plethora of dark red fruits such as plum, cherry, raspberry, and ripe strawberry. As for the palate, the wine had lush fruit and a pretty floral quality that fills the mouth with rich velvety tannins without any dryness of a typical Cabernet. Each bottle is delivered in a wood box inlaid with an actual one-ounce minted Silver American Eagle coin crafted by the United States Mint.
