Valentine's Day calls for a sweet wine choice. Why? Because it is one of the sweetest holiday celebrations we have all year (think about all the boxes of chocolates given on Valentine's Day). In fact, Valentine’s Day statistics show over 36 million boxes of chocolates are given on Valentine's Day as gifts, and giving that sweet gift is as popular as ever. Why not put an extra bit of sweetness in your Valentine's Day celebration with a sweet wine for dinner, lunch or just because it's Valentine's Day.

If you are considering a sweet wine that pairs well with romantic occasions here are some suggestions:

1. Champagne or Sparkling Wine: Why not try a sweet sparkling wine like a Demi-Sec Champagne or a sparkling Moscato. The effervescence adds a touch of celebration to your romantic evening.

   

2. Rosé: A sweet or off-dry Rosé can be a delightful choice for Valentine's Day. Look for varieties with flavors of strawberries, raspberries, or floral notes.
3. Late Harvest Riesling: A luscious, sweet Riesling with its aromatic qualities can be a perfect match for desserts or enjoyed on its own.

   

4. Red Port: A sweet red Port wine can be a luxurious and rich choice for Valentine's Day. Consider a Ruby Port for a fruitier sweetness or a Tawny Port for a nuttier, caramelized flavor.

   

5. Brachetto d'Acqui: This is a sweet, slightly sparkling red wine from the Piedmont region in Italy. It often has notes of red berries and rose petals, making it a romantic choice.
6. Banyuls: This sweet, fortified wine from the Roussillon region in France is made from Grenache grapes. It has flavors of dark fruits, chocolate, and sometimes a hint of spice.
7. Pink Moscato: If you prefer a sweeter and fruitier option, a Pink Moscato with its notes of berries and peaches can be a playful and enjoyable choice.

   

8. Recioto della Valpolicella: This is a sweet red wine from the Veneto region of Italy, made using the appassimento method. It has rich, concentrated flavors and pairs well with chocolate desserts.
9. Sweet Bordeaux: Sauternes or other sweet Bordeaux wines made from Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle grapes can be a sophisticated and elegant choice.
10. Dessert Wines: Consider classic dessert wines like a late harvest Gewürztraminer, Muscat, or a sweet Sherry like Pedro Ximénez to accompany your dessert course.

When selecting a sweet wine for Valentine's Day, think about the flavors that will complement your meal or dessert.  Choose a wine with a romantic story behind it or a label that resonates with your shared memories. Make the occasion more memorable with everything you choose. Enjoy!
