Valentine's Wine Gift Ideas: How to Choose the Right Bottle for your Valentine



Choosing the perfect wine for Valentine’s Day is a thoughtful way to show you care, but with so many options, where do you start? Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner, looking for a unique gift, or simply celebrating the season of love, the right bottle can make all the difference. Here are some top tips to help you pick a wine that’s guaranteed to impress your Valentine:


  • Consider Their Preferences: Think about their favourite wine style. Do they love crisp whites, bold reds, or elegant rosés? If you’re unsure, the best choice would be a versatile classic like sparkling wine.

  • Match It to the Occasion: Choose a bottle that complements your plans. A rich red for a cosy dinner at home, a rosé for a light lunch, or Champagne for a celebratory toast.

  • Think Outside the Box: Surprise them with something unique, like an English sparkling wine or an unusual grape variety they haven’t tried before.

  • Prioritise Quality: Look for wines from reputable regions or appellations like Chablis, Rioja, or Côtes de Provence, to make them feel extra special.

  • Pair It with Food: Choose a wine that complements the meal you plan to share together. For example, intensely fruity whites like Viognier are great for spicy foods, light reds like Pinot Noir work brilliantly with cheese and charcuterie, while bold, tannic reds are perfect for rich meat dishes.


Presentation Matters: Opt for beautifully packaged bottles or gift sets to make the gesture even more thoughtful. Discover our full gifting collection here.

For Your Galentines

Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples – it’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate your closest friendships. Toast to your nearest and dearest with something lively and bright. A Provence rosé is a foolproof choice, with its elegant blush tones and crisp, fruity character that suits any occasion. For something a little more effervescent, opt for an English sparkling wine, bursting with fresh apple and citrus notes that feel delightfully celebratory. Here’s our two bestsellers fit for the occasion:



The perfect pink for Galentine’s Day, with its delicate and fresh notes of summer berries and stone fruits bringing a touch of elegance to your celebration of friendship.


This is made in partnership with winemaker Nick Lane, previously of Dom Perignon and Cloudy Bay. Its silky mousse and orchard fruit flavours are delicious with nibbles.

For the Ultimate Date Night

Set the scene for a romantic evening with some seriously indulgent wines. A creamy, golden Chardonnay pairs beautifully with full-flavoured dishes like shellfish or roast chicken, offering richness in every sip. Or if red is more your style, try a spicy Syrah or Rhône blend, full of dark fruits and peppery warmth – just the thing for an intimate dinner with hearty flavours:



A rich white Burgundy without the price tag. This delivers ripe, decadent flavours, with notes of stone fruits, honey and vanilla that are a real treat with buttery scallops.


This bestseller is made by one of the Rhône’s most renowned producers. Bring some prestige to the evening with its fresh and juicy notes of herbs, black cherry and spice.



Majestic

For a fresh Pinot Gris made from 17 year old vines, try the Stopham Estate Pinot Gris. Dating back to the 11th Century, the 15-acre vineyard overlooks the iconic St. Mary The Virgin church. Their Grade II listed winery, a Victorian barn, blends tradition with modern technology, crafting crisp whites and traditional method wines with minimal intervention and an ethos for viticultural longevity. It pairs fantastically with spicy food. Finally, another perfect partner for spicy dishes is the Ernst Loosen Pinot Gris. From the famed Ernst Loosen comes this fresh wine that captures the unique character of the Mosel region. The 2023 vintage is full of ripe pear and crisp apple flavours, balanced by a lively acidity that makes it incredibly refreshing. With a clean, focused finish, this Pinot Gris is wonderfully versatile.



This iconic wine is made with Pinot Noir grapes from some of Laurent-Perrier's finest crus. Its delicate red-fruit flavours and long finish are enough to make any Champagne lover swoon.


Tommasi’s signature style is elegance over power. Expect a full-bodied palate with bold notes of ripe cherry, plum and cocoa, balanced by silky smooth tannins.



Something Lasting

Looking for a gift that lingers a little longer? Sometimes, the occasion calls for something a little more weight. A well chosen spirit offers both versatility and longevity, making it a thoughtful and indulgent option. Do they like fruity flavour? Pink gin, with its delicate balance of floral notes and soft red fruits, makes a charming choice for crafting elegant cocktails. For lovers of more punchy and complex spirits, a single malt whisky with layers of warming spice is the ultimate fireside treat.



Handcrafted using 100% natural ingredients, this award-winning gin offers a vibrant balance of fresh-pressed rhubarb juice, zesty citrus and subtle sweetness – a distinctive choice for fruity cocktails that feel as special as the occasion.


With its rich heritage as a family-owned distillery in Speyside, this single malt offers a harmonious blend of dried fruits, warm spices and a smooth, oaky finish, making it an ideal companion for a cosy evening.



Majestic

Because You Deserve It

Valentine’s Day is also about self-love, and there’s no better way to treat yourself than with a glass of something truly special. A fragrant Viognier, with its exotic floral and spice notes, is the ultimate pick-me-up, pairing wonderfully with light Asian dishes or simply enjoyed on its own. Alternatively, a lively, juicy red is perfect for curling up with a good book or your favourite film.



Arguably the best Viognier in the Languedoc, this wine is partially fermented and matured in oak, giving it a sumptuous, plush character. Its flavours of peach, apricot, honeysuckle and spice are perfect for enjoying when you want to relish something special.


Did you know Majestic has a selection of half bottles? It’s such a great way to enjoy a premium wine without the commitment of drinking – or paying – for a full bottle. As Spain’s most popular Rioja brand, this silky Tempranillo has all the complexity and elegance you'd expect.
