Wines to Say “Thank You”

Mother’s Day is the perfect excuse to slow down, spend time together, and show a little appreciation for the people who do so much for us all year round. If you're planning breakfast in bed, a long lunch, or simply raising a glass for that special someone, the right bottle can turn a thoughtful gesture into something truly memorable.

At Butlers, we love wines that feel celebratory but also comforting, bottles that are a pleasure to drink, easy to share, and full of character. From elegant fizz to food-friendly whites and soulful reds, here are a few wines we think make beautiful Mother’s Day gifts or a perfect bottle to bring to the celebrations.

Terre dei Buth Prosecco DOC Spumante Brut NV

Italy

Bright, fresh and effortlessly uplifting, this Prosecco is a wonderful way to start Mother’s Day celebrations. Terre dei Buth focus on organic viticulture in the hills of Veneto, producing Prosecco with real finesse and balance rather than overt sweetness.

Expect crisp green apple, pear and citrus, with fine bubbles and a clean, refreshing finish. It’s ideal for brunch, aperitifs, or simply popping open to mark the occasion, light, joyful and always crowd-pleasing.

Perfect with: Smoked salmon, fresh pastries, or a simple toast to Mum.

Edouard Brun 1er Cru Réserve Brut NV

Champagne, France

If there’s ever a day for Champagne, Mother’s Day is it. Edouard Brun is a family-run Champagne house based in Aÿ, specialising in expressive, Pinot Noir–driven wines from Premier Cru vineyards.

This Réserve Brut is rich yet beautifully poised, with notes of brioche, baked apple, citrus peel and subtle toast. There’s depth here, but also freshness, a Champagne that feels indulgent without being heavy.

Perfect with: A special lunch, seafood dishes, or as a truly thoughtful gift.

Monte da Peceguina Branco 2022

Alentejo, Portugal

A firm Butlers favourite and a brilliant white for relaxed family meals. From the Malhadinha Nova estate in the Alentejo, this wine combines local Portuguese varieties with a fresh, modern style that’s incredibly drinkable. The labels are hand drawn by the winemakers children making every bottle a subtle tribute to their parents.

Aromas of white peach, citrus and gentle floral notes lead into a softly textured palate with bright acidity and a clean finish. It’s elegant, versatile and works beautifully both on its own and with food.

Perfect with: Roast chicken, spring salads, grilled vegetables or a leisurely lunch in the sunshine.

Grosbois Chinon Rouge ‘La cuisine de ma mère’ 2023

Loire Valley, France

This wine feels especially fitting for Mother’s Day, even the name translates to “My Mother’s Cooking”. Made from Cabernet Franc by Domaine Grosbois in Chinon, it’s a heartfelt tribute to family meals and shared moments around the table.

Juicy, vibrant and full of charm, it offers red berry fruit, gentle spice and soft tannins, with a freshness that makes it incredibly easy to enjoy. It’s comforting, honest and full of warmth, just like the inspiration behind it.

Perfect with: Roast meats, mushroom dishes, simple pasta, or a cosy Sunday supper.

Celebrate Mothers, Your Way

Whether you’re planning a big family get-together or a quiet moment with a single glass, these wines are all about generosity, balance and enjoyment. Thoughtful without being showy, celebratory without being over the top, just good bottles to share with people who matter.
