Is wine the best gift for father on fathers day in USA?

[sachishah]

I read somewhere that wine is the best gift for fathers day in USA, UK. So, I ask this question here, if anybody know about it then share your information here.

Not if your father doesn't drink wine.

Your question cannot have a sensible answer. There is no one gift which is perfect for everyone.

I think the best gift for your father is what he prefers. Wine is good if he drinks wine....not so good if he's a recovering alcoholic....

Gifts on Father's Day are not generally expected. It is kind of a bogus holiday in the US. Most of us just get a hug and a "happy father's Day". Maybe a card.

Got my dad a kitchen thermometer last year and he really enjoys it. (he like to grill outside) Mom says he runs around temping everything now.

Really? I'd say that varies greatly from family to family. It's always been a really big deal in our family. The various dads always begin the day with breakfast in bed (the quality of which depends upon the age of the "cooks" and is often laughable, but daddy has to choke it down anyway and brag about how wonderful it is), and then some kind of special dinner, complete with cards and gifts.

This year I'm giving my dad (who's 91 and in a senior center) some very nice tuned windchimes to hang out on his small patio. As far as wine goes, he loves port, so I always include a really good bottle of that, a luxury he loves but wouldn't buy for himself.

I've never heard of anyone doing anything for father's day in the UK apart from Clinton's Cards. I have no idea what day it's on. My dad wouldn't kick a bottle of wine out the door though.

I never thought of FD as a "southern thing", but it sure ain't much up here. Is your approach common where you live?

fathers day does indeed vary greatly from family to family including Mothers day. Rue the day i forgot to get my mother a simple

card. home made being the best.

for Dad's: its really simple: Tools. Power Tools. big huge battery packs!

all jest aside, the thermometer was a brilliant gift. of course there is also Red Meat .... Thick Slabs of Local Red Meat. Not Mail Order.
