New Year Alcohol Gifts to China

For New Year sending alcohol to China isn’t recommended. If you know your friend will enjoy a bottle no matter the season, go ahead. But if you’re unsure, play it safe and send a gourmet gift for New Year instead. Or try sending a basket that will arrive a little late, so you know they can enjoy it temptation free.
