Victoria Beckham has posted a picture of a bottle of wine she shared with her husband David that can sell for over £1000.

Victoria enjoyed a glass of Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1990 with her other half to toast their 19th wedding anniversary in Paris.

She shared a snap of the former footballer holding the pricey product alongside the caption: “Special wine for a very special day x.”

The celebrity couple tucked into a fancy meal in the French capital, with David posting pictures of the multiple courses and a chef preparing a flambé at their table.

The bottle of red has an average price of £670 according to winesearcher.com, but can retail at over £1000.

The couple previously came under fire for their love of vintage wines after they popped open a bottle of Screaming Eagle to celebrate their son Brooklyn’s return to London from New York for Christmas.

The Californian wine from Napa Valley has an average price of £2,426, according to winesearcher.com.

The post was criticised by some who branded them “shameful” for appearing to pay for an expensive wine when there is “so much poverty in the world”.

The Beckham’s hotfooted it to Paris on Wednesday to celebrate nearly two decades of marriage. They both posted sweet tributes to each other on Instagram with David posting: “19 Years WOW ... This time 19 years ago I was dressed from head to toe in purple ... Happy anniversary to the most amazing wife & mummy ... Love You x.”

Victoria wrote: “19 years!!! X I love u so much x.”

The couple also received silver balloons from their four children Brooklyn, 19, Romeo, X, Cruz, X, and six-year-old Harper.

Their celebratory dinner came hours after David showed off his sporting prowess at Harper’s school sports day by taking on the other dads in a balancing beanbag race.
