    Depending on what hotel group he/she works for, gifts may not be allowed. What I would suggest (depending on budget) is donating the money to the hotels chosen charity or to the 'staff christmas' fund.

    i don't suppose a humerous plaque would be suitable either then lol. how about making up a hamper? a wine lover one with special bottle opener, bottle cooler etc?

    Does he prefer white or red? Do you know anything about what food he likes?

    it really depends on what he drinks, lol, perhaps you could get all the accessories and leave the wine out? either that or ask someone what kind he likes. you could have :

    a fancy bottle opener
    fancy wine glass
    bottle cooler or jacket
    perhaps a few miniture wines of different types as well, then he can taste different ones?
