The Four Cups of wine used in the Passover Seder represent the four distinct redemptions promised by God to the Hebrews as told in Exodus:

"I will bring you out from under the burdens of Egypt." (Exodus 6:6) "I will deliver you from under their bondage." (Exodus 6:6) "And I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments." (Exodus 6:6) "And I will take you to be my people and I will be your God." (Exodus 6:7)

In Hebrew those are: "V'hotzeiti etchem mitachat sivlot Mitzrayim." "V'hitzalti etchem mei-avodatam" "V'ga-alti etchem bizro-a n'tuya uvish'fatim g'dolim" "V'lakachti etchem li l'am v'hayiti lachem leilohim."

Specifically wine is used because it represents freedom.

The wine represents redemption while the colour of the red wine reminds us of the blood of the children killed for the Pharaoh.

What is a good Passover gift?

Passover is not a gift giving holiday. If the question is regarding what to bring your hostess during Pesach (Passover), appropriate gifts are kosher le pesach wine, chocolates, dried fruits and nuts. There are also really nice tea gift boxes and things like that. I assume that you mean children gifts; educational games, such as QuestZion or Kosherland are mostly recommended by Jewish parents and educators. If you are looking for more adult-like gifts, then kosher wine, Seder plates, or some products of Israel would be very appropriate.
