Victoria Beckham made sure her husband was surrounded by his favourite things during his lavish birthday celebrations this week – including his top tipple.
David marked his 50th with four days of celebrations, organised by Victoria, including a brief hop to France and the birthday boy’s favourite vineyard.
Victoria rented a private jet to fly her husband and three of their four children from Luton airport to Bordeaux.
They had lunch at David’s choice vineyard, Petrus, which produces his favourite red wine from Merlot grapes in Pomerol, near the border of Saint-Émilion.
Photos shared by Victoria shows a beaming David and his wife indulging in a bottle of red, one of the most revered wines in the world which can cost up to £6000 a bottle, dependent on vintage.
The Petrus red wine is a favourite among the stars, with the vineyard owned by the Mouiex family, in eastern Pomerol in the Bordeaux region of France.

The small estate produces single-varietal red wines using the Merlot grape and it has gained a following for its rich flavour.
And David couldn’t resist taking a few of the bottles away from him, as later in the day, after the group jetted to Paris for dinner, the foodie was spotted holding a £3,000 bottle of Chateau Petrus 1961.
David, Victoria, their sons Romeo Cruz and daughter Harper were joined by the boys’ girlfriends Kim Turnbull and Jackie Apostel for dinner at another of David’s favoured haunts L’Ami Louis, before moving on to La Reserve, an intimate five-star hotel.
David shares his penchant for Petrus with his eldest son Brooklyn, who was notably absent from all the birthday celebrations.
In 2023 aspiring chef Brooklyn, 25, revealed his favourite wine is a bottle of Petrus 1979 Pomerol costing £2,500, and he is an avid collector of vintage wine.
Brooklyn was invited to all of his father’s birthday celebrations, which also included a family party at David and Victoria’s countryside home and a star-studded London dinner.
It was revealed exclusively by Mail+ this weekend that Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, had skipped all of the events hosted by the family, leaving his parents heartbroken over the decision.
Victoria, 50, has now shared an insight into David’s lavish celebrations by sharing a gallery of photographs on her Instagram page on Sunday evening.

Gushing over the almost week-long celebration, Victoria told her followers she has been ‘creating special memories with family and friends’.
The week kicked off with an intimate dinner at their Cotswolds pile on Wednesday evening, where they dined with close family and partners.
A glimpse at the night shows the Beckham clan dressed up in their finery to honour the big day, with dashing David sporting a sharp black tuxedo.
Fashion designer Victoria wore one of her own brand dresses, a strappy silk navy slip dress that touched the floor as she posed beside her beloved husband.
The couple, who have been married since 1999, posed for one photo perched on the bonnet of a vintage 1972 Fiat 500.

The car may have been an early birthday present for the footballing legend, who previously drove around Italy with his sons in one of the cars last year.
The couple were joined by three of their children, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and 13-year-old Harper – however their eldest, Brooklyn, 25, was absent from all of the events.
While each of her three youngest children were tagged in the caption of the social media photo album, she skipped Brooklyn despite usually writing something along the lines of ‘missing you @brooklynbeckham’ on previous occasions.
David reposted many of his wife’s photos, and, perhaps tellingly, wrote in one caption: ‘I love you all, thank you for making my birthday so memorable,’ also failing to mention his eldest son.
