❓ Frequently Asked Questions about Wines for Valentine's Day
What is the most romantic wine to give as a gift?
Traditionally, Pinot Noir is considered the "wine of lovers" for its subtlety and elegance. However, a Rosé Sparkling Wine is the winning option for its festive symbolism and great versatility.
At what temperature should wine be served at dinner?
To fully enjoy their aromas: red wines shine between 16°C and 18°C. White and rosé wines should be between 8°C and 12°C. Finally, sparkling wines are best enjoyed very cold, between 6°C and 8°C.

The safest bet to ensure good harmony is a dry Rosé wine or a young Red wine. They are excellent "wild cards" that adapt well to both white meats and lightly seasoned dishes.
