Wine Down To Christmas Advent Calendar
£99.99
The Wine Down To Christmas Advent Calendar 2026 from Card Factory hides 24 mini 187ml bottles behind its doors, split ten whites, ten reds and four rosés. Think everyday house labels, Founders Stone, Waters Edge and Yarra Creek, across Pinot Grigio, Merlot, Shiraz and a run of blush, rather than a fine-wine selection. There are no glasses or extras, just a single-serve glass of wine a night. You can personalise the gift card too. It’s one for adults who enjoy the nightly ritual, less so for enthusiasts chasing 24 genuinely different wines.

- Personalise the gift card with your own message, which makes it easy to send as a present
Wine Down To Christmas Advent Calendar 2026: 24 mini bottles of red, white and rosé for the festive countdown
The Wine Down To Christmas Advent Calendar 2026 from Card Factory puts 24 miniature 187ml bottles behind its 24 doors, one for every night of the countdown. The split is even across red and white: ten whites, ten reds and four rosés, so a Pinot Grigio night is as likely as a Merlot night, with a smaller run of blush and White Zinfandel for anyone who drinks pink.
At £99.99 this is not a cheap advent, and it’s a wine box, so the appeal is narrow and clear: it’s for an adult who actually enjoys opening a different little bottle each evening, not a centrepiece gift for someone who drinks the odd glass at Christmas.
What is inside the Wine Down To Christmas wine advent calendar 2026?
Twenty-four single-serve bottles, and that’s the whole box: no glasses, no chocolate, no gimmicks. Each one holds 187ml, a generous large glass, which is the format most UK wine advents stick to. The named selection skews towards everyday house labels rather than fine wine: expect Founders Stone, Waters Edge and Yarra Creek rather than vintage bottles.
On diversity, the real question for a wine box, it’s honest but not adventurous. You get a decent spread of grapes, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Merlot, Shiraz, Malbec and White Zinfandel, but several labels repeat across different days, so you taste the same house wine more than once. Card Factory also notes the bottles and cans may vary, so treat the list as a strong indication rather than a contract.
Card Factory does not publish a stated value for the contents, so I won’t invent one. The only figure I can give you honestly is the per-bottle maths: take the £99.99 price, divide by the 24 bottles, and each one lands at about £4.17. That’s steep for house-label 187ml minis bought individually, and it’s the number to sit with before buying.
The full day-by-day breakdown sits in the SPOILER tab.
How the 2026 Wine Down To Christmas compares
This is a wide-reach supermarket-style wine advent, not a sommelier’s selection, and that’s the frame to judge it in. Against the dedicated drinks specialists, the kind that build a box around a single region or a run of small producers, the Card Factory calendar trades depth for familiarity: these are crowd-pleasing house styles most people will recognise and happily drink.
Where it earns its place is the even red and white balance, ten of each, with four rosé and White Zinfandel minis on top, a genuine plus if you like switching colour night to night. Where it falls short is repetition: with the same labels appearing on more than one day, the sense of 24 discoveries isn’t quite there.
My verdict on the Wine Down To Christmas Advent Calendar 2026
I like the clarity of this one. It does exactly one thing, 24 single-serve wines, no filler, and for a certain drinker that’s the whole appeal: a small glass to look forward to every evening without opening a full bottle you then feel obliged to finish.
What gives me pause is the value. At £4.17 a bottle these are everyday house wines, and if you buy wine at the supermarket you’ll know you can fill a trolley with the same styles for less. You’re paying for the ritual and the packaging, not a cellar-worthy selection. As I’d put it: ‘it’s a lovely nightly habit for December, just don’t buy it expecting to discover your new favourite bottle.’
The other honest caveat is the repetition across days and the fact the exact line-up can vary. If you want 24 genuinely different wines, a specialist box will serve you better. Casual sippers and anyone who likes the countdown ritual will get the most out of it; wine enthusiasts chasing variety will feel short-changed.
