[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] Lotte Department Store announced on the 6th that it will offer fortified wines that pair well with sweet chocolates and desserts at special discounted prices in celebration of Valentine's Day.


Fortified wine is wine that has had brandy added to fermented or fermenting wine to stop fermentation and increase the alcohol content. Representative examples include 'Osborne Port 20 Years,' 'Dow Fine Tawny Port,' and 'Penfolds Club Tawny.' Additionally, the vintage series of Rivesaltes, a natural sweet wine from southern France, such as the 1993 and 1966 vintages of 'Ch?teau Longueborde,' made only from grapes harvested in those years, will be sold at special discounted prices through first-come, first-served reservations. Sparkling wines will also be sold at discounts of up to 60% or more compared to regular prices.


Premium whiskey gifts have also been prepared. Representative products include the 'Gordon & MacPhail Connoisseur's Choice Glen Grant' 1996 and 1997 vintages, and the 'Gordon & MacPhail Connoisseur's Choice Highland Park' 2006 vintage. These whiskeys are single malt whiskeys from Gordon & MacPhail, a Scottish whiskey producer that has been a family business for four generations and combines distilled spirits and casks from over 100 Scottish distilleries. They will be sold in limited quantities at the whiskey bar in the Jamsil branch.



A Lotte Department Store official said, "Recently, young customers in their 20s and 30s who seek wines and whiskeys at various price points are leading trends in the alcoholic beverage market," adding, "We hope couples spend a happy Valentine's Day together with a variety of wines and whiskeys."
