This solves the specific problem of the person who has everything, for whom a bottle of wine is the default and therefore meaningless gift. Sealing that bottle inside a wooden puzzle box converts it into a twenty-minute problem that has to be solved before anyone drinks anything, which makes the gift into an event. The joinery is properly done — this is a real puzzle, not a box with a catch. And it survives the occasion. Once solved it stays a nice object, and it can be reloaded and re-gifted, which almost nothing else in this price range can claim.
