Personalised Cognac
Personalised cognac is a premium, memorable alternative to a standard gift bottle, giving the recipient a bottle engraved with their own name, a date, or a short message, whether the occasion is a birthday, retirement, or wedding. Major cognac houses including Hennessy, Courvoisier, Remy Martin, and Martell can all be personalised, something many gift buyers assume isn't possible with branded spirits. Personalisation is carried out in-house by a UK-based specialist, with a showroom in Leigh, Greater Manchester, rather than sent to a third party for engraving. Browse the product grid for the full branded range and current options.
Choosing a Cognac Grade: VS, VSOP or XO
Cognac grade is an age and quality classification, not a brand distinction, so the same house will offer VS, VSOP, and XO versions of its cognac at different tiers.
| Grade | What it means | Typical age | Gift suitability |
|---|---|---|---|
| VS (Very Special) | The youngest classification, aged in oak casks for a minimum period set by cognac regulations | At least 2 years | Casual gifts, everyday celebrations, informal thank-yous |
| VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) | A more mature blend with greater depth than VS, still widely accessible | At least 4 years | Birthdays, retirements, general gifting when unsure which grade to pick |
| XO (Extra Old) | The most mature and prestigious classification, reserved for special-occasion gifting | At least 10 years | Weddings, significant anniversaries, milestone birthdays |
VSOP is the safest choice when the recipient's taste or the formality of the occasion is unclear, while XO is worth the step up for milestone celebrations where the gift itself needs to carry weight.
Which Cognac Brand to Choose for the Recipient
Brand choice affects how a personalised cognac gift is perceived as much as how it tastes, so matching the house to the recipient matters as much as matching the grade.
- Hennessy: widely recognised worldwide, making it a safe, dependable choice when you're not certain of the recipient's usual preference.
- Courvoisier: known for a smoother, more approachable style, suited to recipients newer to cognac.
- Remy Martin: carries a prestige positioning, useful when the gift needs to signal extra effort or occasion importance.
- Martell: an elegant, historic house with a refined character, appealing to recipients who appreciate tradition.

Engraving & Personalisation: What to Expect
Engraving on a cognac bottle appears as clean, permanent text set into the glass, applied either single-sided or double-sided depending on the message and bottle shape.
- Short messages, names, dates, and simple phrases produce the cleanest result on a curved bottle surface.
- Character and line limits apply and are shown during the personalisation process, so you can see exactly how the text will fit before ordering.
- Engraving is completed in-house, which keeps quality consistent across every bottle.
- The finished bottle arrives gift-ready in a presentation box, with no extra wrapping needed.
Shorter text almost always looks more elegant than a long message, since a curved glass surface has less room than a flat label to work with.
Bottle Only or Gift Set?
A personalised bottle alone is enough for casual celebrations or when the recipient already owns suitable glassware. Gift sets typically add two glasses, a presentation box, or other accessories alongside the engraved bottle.
- Choose bottle only for casual celebrations, thank-yous, or when the recipient already has glassware at home.
- Choose a gift set for formal occasions such as weddings or milestone anniversaries, especially when the recipient is likely to open and share the bottle straight away rather than store it.
Our range of Cognac gifts is extensive and covers all the major brands like Martell, Courvoisier, Hennessey and Remy Martin. Covering all styles the range includes VS, VSOP, XO and Prestige Cognac. Our list of Brandy is from all over the world, France, Spain, Germany, Greece and South Africa.
All Cognac is Brandy but not all Brandy is Cognac. To be classed as Cognac not only must it be produced and aged within the Cognac region of France but must follow a strict production process.

We treat all personalised bottles individually, taking our time and experience to set out your message to create the most impactful bottle decoration possible. This may include increase the size of some fonts within the message to pay particular focus on key lines or phrases, spacing message over extra lines and removing unnecessary punctuation.
Yes, all the lines of messages will be centred.
If you can type it, we can engrave it! When using alternative languages it may be neccessary for us to alter the font to ensure all characters are supported, in these cases we use the closest style font to your original selection.
Unfortunatley we are unable to engrave emoji's or picture characters. Where these are added the character will be removed from your message.
We specially select the fonts we use. Once a bottle has been engraved the cut glass is then infilled with a special decorative silver paste. These fonts ensure we provide the optimum width and depth during the engraving process to creat maximum visibility once infilled.
The fonts we currently use are: Lucida Calligraphy, Lucida Handwriting, Verdana and Segoe Print.
