Here’s how to celebrate your Valentine’s Day.

Valentine’s Day is one of the most polarizing Hallmark holidays. Are you head over heels for someone special and ready to splurge on every indulgence for them? Or maybe you’re in more of a ‘meh’ headspace about love and looking to spend the day with friends and laughter? It’s also possible that you just don’t care at all but are up for treating yourself to something delicious.
In any case, let’s talk Champagne.
Champagne need not be relegated to holidays and special occasions as it is possibly one of the most versatile wines to enjoy with food. Few things are more delicious than a bottle of Moët & Chandon Impérial Brut Rosé paired with a chef’s tasting menu by candlelight. Would you imagine that the same bottle is equally as slamming with a giant bowl of buttery, salted popcorn? It is, I assure you.
Whether you want to find the perfect combination of Valentine’s Day gifts (complete with bubbles and flowers) or order something to crack on the couch with your best friends, here are great options for you!
