A wine from the year they were born
Giving a wine from the same vintage as the birthday person is a gesture they never forget, especially on milestone birthdays. The reds that age best are Rioja and Ribera del Duero gran reservas, Bordeaux and Priorat. If you can’t find the exact year, an age-certified sherry, VOS (over 20 years) or VORS (over 30), is an elegant alternative.
