I wonder if the bottle of wine/gift hamper sent to Real Estate agent / Strata Manager from a trader would be considered OK in Australia?
What if it is sent to the office in general?
We run a painting company and we have Agents and Managers as our ongoing clients. We thought to send them a bottle of wine this Xmas, to thanks for using our service. But I’m not sure if this will not consider being a bridge of interest.
They all are very responsible and honest people (yes, there is such thing as a honest real estate agent!). I wouldn’t wan to offend them, or lose a client

I think it would be a grand gesture. Go for it

It is customary to send a token of appreciation during the holiday season. Sending a gift for the entire office to share is considerate. However, I would suggest not sending alcohol. You may actually offend someone due to personal issues or values. I would recommend something like sparkling cider, a fruit basket, or even a gift certificate for a local deli or bakery.

I'm sure it's fine and not too extravagent to breach any code of ethics. Wine and whiskey are often given as seasonal thank-yous.

It's a lovely idea.... but these days alcohol in any form might be "politically incorrect" :( Why not a fruit basket....or a cheese and fruit basket?
