This prestige cuvée was designed in 1902 by Art Nouveau master Émile Gallé.

The 2022 vintage continues this legacy with a red wine that’s crafted from estate-grown vineyards in St. Helena, Rutherford, and the Stags Leap District, a.k.a, the absolute best.
Perfect For: This red wine is perfect for collectors and American red lovers. If you're pairing with a hearty steak dinner, this iconic Napa Valley blend is a gift that will surely top the list.

Perfect For: Choose this wine if you’re looking to really show off your "power couple" vibes this Valentine's Day. It’s perfect for serious wine enthusiasts who appreciate the harmony between French tradition and Californian terroir.
Region: United States | ABV: 14.0% | 750ml

It’s then aged for three years on the lees, which shows the family's dedication to maintaining a house style that is both elegant and incredibly lively.
Perfect For: If you want to think pink without sacrificing quality, this is the bottle. Its history sets the perfect tone for the family-oriented couple who loves a beautiful Rose. Lastly, it pairs well with fresh fruit desserts.

Perfect For: This selection is designed perfectly for the edgy partner, who likes to break the rules. If you are planning a cozy night in with dark chocolates and a movie, this is your wine.
Region: France | ABV: Varies | 750ml

8. Perrier-Jouet Blason Rose
This champagne stands apart from other rosés because it is crafted specifically to be enjoyed with a meal rather than just as an aperitif. The blend contains a higher proportion of Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims for a structure that helps it stand up exceptionally well with savory dishes. All while keeping the floral signature that Perrier-Jouët is famous for.
Perfect For: If you are cooking a complex meal for Valentine's Day—like duck, lamb, or salmon—this wine will completely elevate the experience for your lover. It’s a pairing that shows you go the extra mile.
Region: France | ABV: 12.0% | 750ml
Purchase Perrier-Jouet Blason Rose
9. Far Niente Chardonnay 2023
Far Niente translates to "without a care," which perfectly captures the philosophy of the estate. They’re renowned for producing one of the most celebrated Chardonnays in Napa Valley. By preventing malolactic fermentation, they retain crisp and bright acidity, allowing the wine to age gracefully for years, which is rare for California Chardonnay.
Perfect For: This is for the white wine devotee who appreciates luxury and wants to enjoy something beautiful that has a deep story. A chardonnay like this is the gold standard to present to them.
Region: United States | ABV: 13.70% | 750ml
Purchase Far Niente Chardonnay 2023
10. Moët & Chandon Nectar Imperial
While most champagnes moved toward "Brut" (dry) styles in the modern era, Moët revived the tradition of slightly sweeter champagnes. In the past, these types of sweet champagne were once the preference of royalty. It’s a bold and unexpected blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay designed to be rich and luscious.
Perfect For: If they find traditional Brut champagne too dry or acidic, Nectar Imperial will be a pleasant surprise. It pairs wonderfully with spicy food or a decadent dessert course.
Region: France | ABV: 12.0% | 750ml
Purchase Moët & Chandon Nectar ImperialOther Wine-Related Gifts To Surprise Your Valentine
Sometimes the best gift to pair with your wine bottle is something that enhances the experience. Here are some thoughtful accessories that can uplevel your evening.
Crystal Glasses
High-quality crystal glasses will impress as they’re thinner and clearer than standard glass. Giving a pair of luxury stems is a sophisticated gesture that both of you can reflect on with every future glass of wine you share.
Chocolate Pairings
Wine and chocolate are the classic dynamic duo. Another great type of chocolate is dark chocolate with high cacao content, as it pairs beautifully with bold reds like the Insignia. Finally, white chocolate can be perfect with a Demi-Sec champagne.
Wine Aerator and Decanter Set
A beautiful decanter can serve as a centerpiece for your romantic evening, while helping your wine breathe and release its full potential. It’s basically a functional piece of art that improves the taste of the wine.
Wine Pairing & Paint Night
Looking for an experience rather than an object? Give a "Paint and Sip" night at home! Buy a few canvases, some paints, and a bottle of wine. It is a fun way to spend the evening, and you will have your own paintings to enjoy and sip over for evenings to come.
Choosing The Perfect Wine Gift
Still unsure which direction to go? Here are four tips to help you find the perfect gift.
Keep Valentines Plans in Mind
A heavy tannic red might be great for a steakhouse dinner, but if you are planning a light picnic or a toast before heading out, Champagne or Rosé is the option to go with. Think about the flow of your evening and pick a wine that matches the vibe.
Consider Their Taste Preferences
Take some time to consider their preferences, if you know them well enough. Do they usually order white or red? Do they like sweet drinks or dry ones? If you are unsure, sneak a peek at their current wine rack or a photo of a bottle they posted on Instagram. Ideally, match their palette, and that helps to enhance your evening.
Set a Budget and Find the Best Value
You don't have to spend a fortune to get a great bottle, but you should set a budget beforehand. But for Valentine's, sometimes paying a premium for a recognized luxury brand (like Dom Pérignon) provides that "wow" factor you’re looking for.
