Our top picks
Brut Champagne
Bollinger Special Cuvée
75cl • 12% ABV
A historic Champagne fitting for the big day that blends multiple crus with a healthy dose of reserve wines. Crisp fruit, honeyed depth and pastry richness give it balance and authority, the sort of fizz that you'll want to pop open in celebration.
"Because Valentine’s deserves a proper bit of bubbly. This is so rich and refined you'll think it's the love child of David Niven and Audrey Hepburn. Pop a cork and start the celebrations."

Brut Champagne
Moët & Chandon Rosé Impérial
75cl • 12% ABV
Lively, fruit-forward and instantly charming, this rosé Champagne delivers red berries, soft florals and a fresh, playful lift. Approachable but polished, it is for those who want to celebrate with something a little sweeter.
"With a deep blush from added red wine and a bold Pinot-led blend, this is Moët's berry-bright bottle built for grand gestures."

FRENCH Champagne
Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut Gift Pack with 2x Flutes
75cl • 12% ABV
Elegant and crowd-pleasing, this Grand Brut blends Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir into a bright, refined Champagne. The addition of two flutes turns it into a ready-made celebration, because presentation matters and sharing is encouraged.
"Perrier-Jouët - what better way to spend Valentine's than sharing a bottle of Champagne and with 2 glasses included, you can share this with your loved one or your best friend."
Lisa Halstead
Buyer & CSO (chief sipping officer)
THE PERFECT SERVE
Kir Royale
Light, elegant and faintly flirtatious, this is Champagne dressed up with a splash of blackcurrant and a very French shrug.
