Classy Wine Glasses 

What wine lover doesn’t love a new beautiful set of wine glasses? There are lots of different types of wine glasses to choose from. Whether you select stemless, stemmed, colorful, or clear, your Valentine will love having a new serving method for their wine of choice. 

Electric Wine Opener

Give your Valentine the gift of making opening wine simpler. Gone are the days of manual corks. With an electric wine opener, all you have to do is place it on top of your wine bottle, push a button, and violà – your wine is ready to be served! 

Wine Decanter 

If your wine lover loves to host, then a wine decanter is a great gift idea. A wine decanter enhances the flavor of the wine by exposing it to fresh air and allowing it to breathe.  It also makes a great centerpiece for hosting! 

The Pale by Sacha Lichine 

If you’re looking to get your wine lover a bottle of wine for Valentine’s Day – look no further. If they’re a rosé fan, then a bottle of The Pale by Sacha Lichine is an excellent choice, and the beautiful pink bottle adds to the Valentine’s Day spirit. 

Chocolates for Pairing 

Last but not least, add in a few chocolates to pair with your wine lover’s gift. Maybe even create a basket with wine glasses, a bottle of wine, and a few chocolates? They will be sure to love it! 

Who needs a Valentine when you have chocolate and wine? 😉 There’s truly no better duo than chocolate and wine.

Here are some of our favorite pairings for Valentine’s Day: 

Knudsen Vineyards Pinot Noir & Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Duet Hearts
