Valentine's Day Wine: Champagne, Pinot Noir and Elegant Wines for Two

Champagne, Rosé or Pinot Noir: Which Wine Suits Valentine's Day?

There is no single answer, but each has its moment. Champagne is the classic toast, Pinot Noir is the red for a dinner for two, and a pale rosé is the summer pick. All three are light enough for a warm February evening.

Champagne and Sparkling Wine

Champagne is at the heart of this collection, from houses such as Bollinger and Pol Roger to grower Champagnes. Premium sparkling wine made from the classic Champagne grapes adds more choice, including English sparkling from Nyetimber and Tasmanian bubbles from Jansz.

Pinot Noir

Silky, perfumed and gentle on tannin, Pinot Noir is a red wine that suits a dinner for two. Choose Burgundy from the Côte de Nuits or its southern neighbour, the Côte de Beaune, or look closer to home to Central Otago and the Mornington Peninsula.

Rosé and Elegant Whites

For a summer evening, a pale rosé from Provence is a lovely choice. White wine lovers will find fine Chardonnay, Riesling from Germany and crisp Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre.

Food Pairing for a Valentine's Dinner

Champagne and oysters are a timeless match. Pinot Noir suits duck, salmon and mushroom dishes, while a fine Chardonnay sits beautifully beside lobster or roast chicken.
