What kind of gift do I take along to a private invitation?

Private dinner invitations

It is customary to bring a small gift when you are invited to lunch or dinner at a private home. The best bet is to bring the host's wife some flowers, but it is also common to bring a bottle of wine (choose from midrange prices). You do not bring beer. If the occasion is semi-formal or business related, you may want to send your host a thank you note afterwards.
