Britain's love affair with pink fizz continues, fuelled by big steps forward in quality as many of the major producers have invested in better red winemaking facilities over the past decade. 
The result is less acidic, softer, more approachable, fruit-driven styles, epitomised by Moët's best-selling Brut Impérial. While rosé styles of Champagne now have year round appeal, the close association between all things pink and Valentine's Day is inescapable. And retailers' shelves are stacked high with special presentations in glitzy packaging for lovers to find the perfect gift for their partners.
One of the most stylish novelty offers this year comes from those clever marketers at Veuve Clicquot whose soft, creamy textured rosé is a delightful drink. 'Scream Your Love' through their shocking pink loud hailer which then upturns to double as an ice bucket to chill your Champagne to the perfect, not too cool, drinking temperature. (Selfridges, £64.99). 
Keeping it cool strikes a chord with Perrier-Jouët whose artistic collaborations continue in the shape of the Enchanted Nature case for its Blason Rosé cuvée whose distinctive and fitting Art Noveau design – this is the house of Belle Epoque – has been created by designer Tord Boontje. It's housed in an opaque cylinder box whose isothermal properties keep this delicately fruity, floral Champagne at the ideal temperature. The Blason Rosé Art Nouveau Chiller Pack is available from Harvey Nichols priced at £68.
Billecart-Salmon's acclaimed rosé styles, its elegant, beautifully-balanced brut and the classy vintaged luxury cuvée Elisabeth Salmon, are much sought after. Billecart is running a promotion with selected retailers (including ChampagneDirect.co.uk, Berry Bros. & Rudd, Fortnum & Mason, Amathus Drinks) whereby if you buy a bottle of its Brut Rosé, Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru or newly released 2006 vintage you receive a complimentary half bottle of its NV pink to enjoy à deux.
If you want to go large, and who doesn't, why not trade up to a magnum and enjoy all the associated benefits of the larger format – extra freshness, more nuances of flavour and an innate superiority over its 75cl counterparts, coupled with the sheer theatre when the cork is drawn. Champagne Jacquart has just the wine to please with its limited edition magnum Mosaïc Rosé NV, a specially created blend based on the fine 2009 vintage with reserve wines from the three previous harvests, adding up to a harmonious treat. (£84.70 /£75 Hedonism Wines/Great Western).
Let's not forget Moët & Chandon. Not to be outdone by sister brand Clicqout, Moët has its own slick Valentine's Day presentation in the shape of its ‘Unfurl The Tie’ limited edition gift box selection for its Rosé Impérial NV, with packaging designed to echo the black tie which has adorned Moët bottles since 1886. The gift box opens to reveal a bottle accompanied by a ‘Toasting The Tie’ stand with two footless Champagne flutes (£110.00 moet.com).

Charles Philipponnat runs a house based in the top cru of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, where he can trace his family antecedents in the village back to 1522. This is a seriously 
well made, winey-style of rosé that’s beguiling, moreish and likely to please the man or woman in your life. Half bottles make a great and easily transportable gift. (Harvey Nichols, £26)
Write your love 'message on a bottle' to your partner with Lanson Rosé's Valentine's Day gift pack that comes with a special pen to inscribe your message in a darker shade of pink. The decorated neoprene bottle contains Lanson’s Pinot-dominant rosé blend (68%), kept fresh and lifted by a large slug of Chardonnay and this house’s non-malolactic winemaking style. (Waitrose £37.99)
If you're looking for an exclusive super luxury pink cuvée, Deutz's new Amour de Deutz Vintage 2006 presses all the right buttons. It showcases the top Grand Cru Aÿ Pinot Noirs from the best south-facing vineyards on the hillside just above the Deutz winery. It works both as a luxurious aperitif and a food wine, perhaps with lobster or an Asian duck dish. It will be gracing the lists at various top class restaurants shortly. (£149, Vagabond, Soho Wine Supply and Huntsworth Wine Company)
