The answer to that is entirely situational. If this 70 year old is in relatively good health and drinks wine, then yes it's a good gift. However, if they are quite frail and don't have muc independence, or have a medical condition which alcohol won't help then it's not a good idea.

A personal birthday gift would be a good gift for anyone. It demonstrates that you put time and thought into their gift, and that is something that anyone could appreciate. Thingsremembered.com and personalizationmall.com are both good resourced for personalized gifts.
A two-week home leave pass. Seriously, though, a military man is just a man, so there is no special gift JUST BECAUSE he's in the military.
A good birthday gift for a man would be sport tickets. Maybe he is into baseball or basketball. Tickets are the best gift because they can enjoy the sport with a friend or spouse.
I found good gift ideas for 40th birthday. I added the link where I found the ideas in related link section, in case you need it. A bottle of wine and some aged cheese in a nice gift basket that made by yourself. Don't forget to put a card with encouraging quotes such as : "Now is the time to enjoy the finer things in life." to make him feel always young. Good luck!
Some products you might want to include in a man's gift basket are sporting event tickets, a gift certificate to a sporting goods store such as R.E.I., and a six-pack of beer.
For a forty year old man a good gift would be a weekend getaway for him and a few of his friends. Its a perfect gift to let him get away from the stress of work and life. To find the getaway that is right for you're man a trip to the local sports/fishing shop may just be the first stop. They will have pamphlets you can look at and the employees may also know of good getaways that other men have enjoyed.
