Valentines Day is all about treating that someone special and you can’t go far wrong if you buy a nice bottle of plonk and cuddle up in front of the fireplace.
Here’s a list of my top 10 most romantic wines full of flavour and body.
Cheeky Reds
Côtes du Rhône 2003, E Guigal (£8 approx)
Guigal’s Côtes du Rhône shares the rich berry fruits and spicy tannins of many more expensive wines from the region. Superb with rich meat dishes or strong cheeses.
Rioja Reserva 2002, Berberana (£10 approx)
A perfectly made Rioja with at least two years ageing in oak. Delicious vanilla overtones backed up by juicy soft strawberry flavours.
Kangarilla Road Cabernet Sauvignon 2004, McLaren Vale (£10 approx)
A rich, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon from the highly acclaimed Kangarilla Road winery. Aged for 18 months in both French and American oak, this wine shows classic blackcurrant and blackberry fruit flavours, enhanced by hints of mint and plenty of toasty oak and cedar notes on the palate. Smooth and velvety, revealing sweet tannins on the finish, it is drinking well now and for the next five to seven years.

Diamonds are a girls best friend as the saying goes. At some stage in a relationship she’s gonna want some and to someone who is no expert at picking a good diamond over a crap or fake one you can easily get it wrong.
Can you tell the fakes?!
Read this article and take note of the hints and tips before you go spending all that £££££.
Instructions
STEP 1: Ask if the stone is a genuine diamond or if it is a cubic zirconia, moissanite or other synthetic substance. A reputable jeweler will give you an honest answer.
STEP 2: Look at the setting and mount. Since stones such as cubic zirconia are so much cheaper than diamonds, they are sometimes set in inferior metals.
STEP 3: Check the wear and tear on the stone. A cubic zirconia is not as durable as a diamond and may show signs of scratches or nicks.
STEP 4: Take the stone to a trusted jeweler. Looking through a jeweler’s loupe, he or she should be able to spot a fake stone right away. If the jeweler cannot tell by examining the stone, he or she will have instruments that can verify its authenticity.
STEP 5: It is highly recommended that you obtain a certificate from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). The GIA, the largest impartial diamond grading authority in the world, issues a grading report after it examines the diamond and details it specifications.
STEP 6: Have the stone appraised by an independent appraiser who is affiliated with a professional organization such as the American Society of Appraisers (ASA). Ask for a certificate indicating the value and characteristics of the stone.

On Valentines day It’s actually more romantic to give something to your lover that you have had to think about rather than just buy. Believe me the return on your time investment is huge compared to just going out and spending huge amounts of dough on something material that anyone can buy.
Here is a list of the top 10 things you can do for your loved one that are inexpensive and will get huge appreciation:
1 – Make a compilation. Get all your best songs on a CD and call it something personal to them. Alternatively, get their iPod and add a new playlist of love songs.
2 – Candle Welcome. Get home before they do and get your hands on as many candles as you possibly can and light them, placing them all round the house. Turn off the lights, strip down and await the smile on their face when they open the door!
Simply Irresistible for any hot blooded man… or woman!
3 – Make a card. Doodle, even if you can’t draw, it’s the thought that counts. Make a normal card but personalise it entirely to them and your feelings towards them. Attach lace, glitter… whatever!
4 – Flowers. Well I had to add them really. BUT rather than just going to a florist, why don’t you go find some and arrange them yourself! Your granny’s roses are a great place to start.
5 – Romantic dinner. It is so inexpensive to prepare a lovely meal (£15 tops if you plan it right). Mixed with an ambience using candles you can’t go wrong!
