In good taste Advent Calendars: the 2026 boxes, what’s inside and where to buy

In Good Taste's Wine calendar for 2026 is a red box of 24 doors with a 187 ml mini bottle behind each (a generous glass a night) of red, white and rosé from Italy, Germany, Austria, New Zealand, Washington, Napa and Sonoma, for 154.99 USD; it is the American wine calendar, and the Californian mini-bottle brand's 2024 editions (Red, White & Rosé, Luxury California, All Red) stay here for the record. Rated 4 out of 5; the wine page sets it beside Virgin Wines' UK box, and neither prints a valuation.

12 calendars, 6 new for 2026, most of them 24 doors. Full stats

The 2026 In good taste calendars, all six of them.

  • In Good Taste Food Pairing 2026

    24 doors · $114.99 on the box · rated 3.5/5

    The snack side of a wine night, 24 savoury pieces to open beside one of the bottle calendars. Nothing in it is named beyond the kinds, and it holds no wine.

  • In Good Taste Wine Cocktail 2026

    24 doors · $164.99 on the box · rated 3.5/5

    Wine cocktails rather than wine, 24 of them mixed and ready, with only two recipes named in advance. New for 2026 and a different thing from the bottle calendars.

  • In Good Taste Luxury Wine 2026

    24 doors · $249.99 on the box · rated 3.5/5

    A single-cellar calendar rather than a survey, 24 of Matt Smith's California wines at a glass a night, with the stories behind them. The bottles stay a surprise, and the price is the top of the line.

  • In Good Taste White & Rosé 2026

    24 doors · $164.99 on the box · rated 3.5/5

    Against 2025: up 3% to $164.99.

    The white and rosé counterpart to the red box, 24 glasses of 187 ml with the regions named and the bottles kept back.

  • In Good Taste Red Wine 2026

    24 doors · $164.99 on the box · rated 3.5/5

    Against 2025: up 3% to $164.99.

    Twenty-four reds at a glass a night from named regions, the bottles themselves a surprise by design. The 2024 edition listed the same idea at the same size.

  • In Good Taste Wine 2026

    24 doors · $154.99 on the box · rated 4/5

    A full 187 ml glass a night from seven regions, Napa and Sonoma to Austria and New Zealand; a wine calendar for people who want a drink rather than a taster, at 154.99 USD. The wines are not named before December, so you buy the regions and the brand's record, not a list.

How to choose a In good taste advent calendar

  1. Step 01

    Match the doors to the days

    Every calendar here has 24 doors: a 24-door box opens one a day from 1 December to Christmas Eve. There is no shorter option in this category, so if it will arrive late, plan on opening the missed doors in order and carrying on. Every start date

  2. Step 02

    Know which season you are buying

    6 of the 12 here are 2026 editions, and 3 are last season's — still sold, often discounted, and with the contents already on the page. The 3 older than that are listed for the record, not for buying. A brand's page keeps every edition together, so check whether the box you are looking at is this year's before you compare prices.

  3. Step 03

    Start from the ones we have opened

    0 of the 12 here carry an editors' pick and 9 have a written score. Those are the boxes somebody on this site has actually judged. The rest are listed because they exist, not because we are recommending them; being on this page is not a verdict. How we review

The in good taste shelf, by the numbers

How each one is countedEvery figure is computed from the records at build time and says how many it is drawn from. Door price is the price on the box over its doors; the value multiple is what the contents come to at retail over that price; full size is the retailer’s own marking. Dollar figures use rough rates and are for ranking only. Where a record cannot support a figure, it is left out rather than guessed.The definitions, one by one →
