Wines of Spain & Portugal Puzzle review

We're into December which means that Christmas shopping has hit the top of everyone's festive to-do lists. While some people are pretty easy to buy for - kids always love toys, teenagers love techie stuff, women love perfume and beauty products, ... - some people are trickier. Trying to find gift ideas for male relatives, whether that be husbands, fathers or fathers-in-law, always seems more complicated to me. Aftershave, DVDs and T-shirts are some popular gift ideas, but if you're looking for something completely different and more original, how about one of these alcohol-themed puzzles from Puzzle Cru?

The puzzles are designed to represent the various regions around the world that are renowned for wine or whisky. We received the Wines of Spain & Portugal puzzle which gives a great deal of insight into the Iberian Peninsular. Showing everything from Portugal's windswept west coast to the sun-drenched shores of the Spanish Costas, the puzzle highlights towns, popular tourist sites and food and drink options. From crisp Cava to regal Rioja and powerful Port, the Iberian peninsula has it all !

The puzzles also reveal a selection of fish and marine mammals that live in the sea around Spain and Portugal, including sharks and rays. It's an interesting puzzle, offering lots of information about Spain and Portugal that wine-lovers would be interested in, but I can also see this appealing to teenagers learning Spanish at school.

The puzzle pieces are precisely cut and fit together firmly. You could display the finished puzzle in a frame on the wall but if not, there is also a poster in the box. We decided to keep this in the box though, as a helpful guide to fitting the pieces together. The puzzle contains 1000 pieces, making it the perfect size for the whole family to fit together as a team. To make this into an extra special and unique Christmas gift, you could pair it with a bottle of one of the wines featured on the map. 

Other puzzles in the set include Wines of Italy, Wines of France and Whiskies of Scotland.

RRP : £16.19 (currently £15.29)
