David Beckham’s Favourite Wines – Drink Like Him
Did you know that David Beckham is a lover of good wine? We tell you what his favourites are and which similar wines you can buy at Vinissimus to toast like a celebrity.
David Beckham is not only a football legend and style icon but also an avowed lover of fine wine. From intimate dinners with Victoria to wine escapades in Napa or Bordeaux, the former British footballer has proven to have a palate as refined as his hairstyle.
But what wines does Beckham like, and how can we enjoy something similar without leaving the house? Today at Vinissimus, we'll tell you all about it—and we recommend equally exquisite (and more affordable) options.
Which wines does David Beckham like?
Although he is discreet, Beckham has left enough clues in interviews and on social media to give us an idea of his favourites:
1. Bordeaux wines
Beckham is an avowed fan of great French reds, especially Bordeaux. According to several media, he has a weakness for Château Margaux, Pétrus and Château Lafite Rothschild: elegant, complex and cult wines.
2. Napa Valley
During his time in the US, Beckham discovered Californian wines. He has been seen at wineries such as Opus One and Screaming Eagle, icons of the Napa Valley.
3. Champagne
As a stylish Brit, he also celebrates in style: he has been photographed with bottles of Dom Pérignon and Krug, high-end champagnes with a sparkling personality.
And how to drink like Beckham... without spending like him?
Not everyone can afford a Pétrus or an Opus One, but we can get close to that wine profile with well-selected alternatives. At Vinissimus, we have an all-star line-up with Beckhamian flair that will make you feel as if you were toasting in their Italian villa.
Here are our recommendations:
If you like Château Margaux...
Try:
Jean Leon Vinya Le Havre 2021, Penedès (Spain)
Cabernet Sauvignon with elegant ageing, very much in the classic French style.
If you are interested in a profile like Pétrus...
Try:
Garmón 2021, Ribera del Duero (Spain)
Pure Tempranillo, powerful and polished. A red wine that could rub shoulders with the great Merlots of the world, but with a Castilian soul.
Termanthia 2014, Toro (Spain)
Powerful, deep and luxurious. For those looking for a cult wine with muscle.
Intrigued by the Napa Valley style?
Try:
Mauro Terreus 2022, Castilla y León (Spain)
Top of Bodegas Mauro, powerful, international, complex. Ideal for fans of supercalifornians.

If you dream of the glamour of a Dom Pérignon...
Try:
Gramona III Lustros 2016 (Corpinnat, Spain)
Long ageing cava, with fine bubbles and bakery notes. A sparkling wine that plays in the Champagne Champions League.
Wines with Beckham style: luxury, design and charisma
Try:
Aalto PS 2022 (Ribera del Duero, Spain)
One of Spain's most sought-after reds. Powerful, precise and enveloping.
Valbuena 5º año 2018, Ribera del Duero, (Spain)
Spanish legend with an international presence. The kind of wine that one keeps... and remembers.
Beckham, wine and style: an inspiration for better toasting
Drinking like a celebrity doesn't mean emptying your bank account. It means savouring with intention, choosing wines that tell stories and surrounding yourself with good company.
At Vinissimus, we share this love of well-made wine. That's why we select labels with character, wineries with soul and bottles that inspire. And like Beckham, we believe that wine can also be a form of expression.
