The brilliance of wine is that there is a bottle for every preference, every meal, and every occasion. Just as chocolates are synonymous with Valentine’s Day, so too is a bottle of wine, and no Feb. 14 is complete without a glass (or two) to toast the day of love.
Whether you’re celebrating a romantic evening with your partner, a comforting night with friends or embracing your solo journey, we have a bottle you’ll enjoy. Check out this list of wines to find something suitable for whatever type of Valentine’s Day you’re having this year.
For a casual date night
2022 Nicolas-Jay Pinot Noir Willamette Valley
This balanced and beautiful pinot noir is a versatile choice for most Valentine’s Day celebrations. It’s not too heavy, so it won’t overwhelm you; it pairs well with most meat and cheese dishes or can be enjoyed on its own. Just chill slightly and decant briefly to enjoy.
For a special occasion
NV Pierre Moncuit Delos Grand Cru Brut Champagne
This classic bottle of Champagne is the perfect way to celebrate a particularly special Valentine’s Day. Whatever the reason, pop the top and embrace this energetic, aromatic, and balanced to the very last drop.
For an easygoing night
While rosé has a reputation for being a warm-weather drink, we’re fans of enjoying it year-round, especially on Valentine’s Day. For anyone gathering with friends, watching TV on their own, or just looking for a laid-back evening with some color and flavor, this light, crisp, and inexpensive rosé is a perfect companion.
For dark-chocolate lovers
Bedrock Wine Company Old Vine Zinfandel 2022
This zinfandel balances the bitterness of dark chocolate, which may be on the menu come Valentine’s Day. With its black cherry and baking spice flavors, this bottle is a perfect dessert companion.
For white-chocolate lovers
2023 Weingut Von Winning Winnings Riesling
The touch of sweetness in the drinkable, affordable bottle of Riesling is the perfect partner for white chocolate enthusiasts. It also features a beautiful pale golden hue in the glass and zesty aromas on the nose.
For the daytime celebration
Adami Prosecco Superiore Valdobbiadene Col Credas 2021
Valentine’s celebrations aren’t relegated to just the night. For those who want to enjoy a special morning or afternoon as well, we love this well-priced bottle of prosecco that’s great on its own or with a splash of juice for the ideal brunch beverage. Cheers!
