Nothing goes together better than chocolate and wine, which makes the 'Bliss in a Bottle' collection a match made in heaven.
Bliss in a Bottle is an American company that specializes in wine bottles dipped in chocolate. The company was founded by Cheryl Sher, who previously ran a wine and chocolate shop. After years spent pairing different wines and chocolates, she decided to bring the two together—literally. Now Bliss in a Bottle offers a wide variety of reds, whites, and everything in between, paired with a corresponding chocolate coating. Some standouts from the brand include the Bartenura Prosecco, which is paired with crushed-toffee covered chocolate, and the Fantini Sparkling Rosé, which is coated in dark chocolate, violet and rose sugar, and a sweet marshmallow topping.
