Celebrate Valentine’s Day with G'Vine Gin cocktails
By Carla Snuggs
Celebrate the day of love with G'Vine Gin! Marrying the ancestral grape distillation know-how and infusion practices with the ground-breaking production of the rare grape vine flower, G’Vine Gins shake up codes and conventions.
With two different interpretations of gin, the smoothly robust G'Vine Nouaison and vibrantly floral G'Vine Floraison make the perfect Valentine's Day set that can be appreciated by both gin and non-gin drinkers alike.
