So what should you drink on Valentine’s day? Experts believe that Champagne is the best drink for Valentine’s Day. Moët & Chandon Rosé Impérial is always a great choice. You may want to try Sula’s new Dia wine which targets Indian women. The wine costs Rs 180 per bottle and only 8% alcohol as against the more normal 14%. It is a little sweeter than most other wines. Sula produces this wine in partnership with Bosca.
