David Beckham's £6,000 birthday toast! Victoria flies her husband to his favourite vineyard to pop open his favourite, and very expensive, bottle of red during 50th celebrations
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.

Brooklyn Beckham SNUBS ‘heartbroken' dad David's 50th birthday celebrations leaving entire family ‘hurt' amid ‘feud'
Clemmie Moodie, Assistant Editor, The Sun Published: Invalid Date, BROOKLYN Beckham will NOT be attending his superstar dad's 50th birthday party tonight, sources have confirmed. David is said to be 'heartbroken' that his eldest son will not be joining festivities in London. 15 15 15 15 15 It is understood Brooklyn flew back home to the US earlier today. News of his snub seemingly confirms a devastating feud at the heart of the Beckham clan. Last night a source said: 'David is heartbroken but putting a brave face on it. 'Tonight is all about celebration and love, and he is swimming in it. 'Brooklyn actually informed his parents a while ago that he and his wife, Nicola, would not be attending but, of course, David and Victoria desperately hoped he would change his mind. 'It's a dagger to the heart that he hasn't attended a single one of David's 50th celebrations - and hurts the whole family including the grandparents and siblings. 'Brooklyn is a really sweet boy and everyone loves him dearly. They just hope things can be patched up soon. 'In the mean time, everyone around David are doing all they can to give him a magical evening to remember.' Brooklyn, who previously fell out with his parents shortly after his marriage to American actress Nicola in 2022, was also nowhere to be seen on David's actual birthday in the south of France yesterday. Tonight's star-studded bash is being thrown at the Michelin-starred Core restaurant in Notting Hill. Victoria paid tribute to David on Instagram with a montage of photos and a clip of daughter Harper, now 13, as a toddler, warbling 'there's only one David Beckham'- Celebs expected included Guy Ritchie, Tom Cruise and Gordon Ramsay. Becks is expected to make a speech and guests will include a three course menu designed by chef Clare Smyth. Celebrations so far The week has so far been jam-packed full of celebrating. The football icon, who turned the milestone age on Friday, was seen arriving at Paris-Le Bourget Airport from Bordeaux, where they spent the afternoon in a vineyard. 15 15 15 15 15 David looked dapper as ever in a beige jacket and trousers co-ord and a light grey t-shirt, while his fashion designer wife Victoria, 51, looked chic in a beige linen shirt and white tailored trousers. They were joined by their children Romeo, 22, and his girlfriend Kim Turnbull, 22, and younger son Cruz, 20, with his partner Jackie Apostel, 29, and daughter Harper, 13. Despite the ex-England footballer being surrounded by most of his immediate family, Victoria and David's eldest son Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, were nowhere to be soon - which has continued to fuel speculation of a feud. They were later seen emerging from their posh hotel, after splashing the cash at one of their favourite hotel's in the city, La Réserve. The family were spotted heading out for a special dinner, with David holding what appeared to be a £3,000 bottle of Chateau Petrus 1961. Victoria looked the epitome of class in a grey suit trousers teamed with a white vest under her oversized blazer. David wore a dark brown/grey suit, Cruz opted for a white sleeveless sweater vest and black trousers and Romeo donned an all black outfit. Romeo's girlfriend Kim looked effortlessly chic a black turtle neck jumper and trousers, while Jackie took inspiration from Victoria's look by also sporting a similar tailored grey suit. They were seen getting into waiting cars, which attracted a crowd of onlookers and locals. The family then arrived at bistro restaurant Chez l'Ami Louis, which is known as one of the most charming eateries Paris. Sports star David looked in good spirits as he was sat across the table from daughter Harper and next to son Romeo. Harper looked just like her mum in a full length black dress, a grey oversized blazer and her hair in an elegant ballerina bun. After enjoying a few glasses, David took off his jacket and was seen relaxing with his loved ones during intimate night out. Not long after, the Beckhams were spotted catching a flight back to the UK. Earlier in the day, they were seen leaving from the airport looking tired after more celebrations for their dad's birthday. Cruz opted for a white vest with an unbuttoned blue shirt and black trousers, while Jackie wore a black bandeau top. Romeo looked trendy in a camel coloured jumper and shades and Kim went for an all black outfit with a turtle neck jumper and jeans. Style icon Victoria looked picture perfect, shielding her eyes with a pair of oversized sunglasses and her brunette hair tied into a sleek ponytail. This week, fashion designer Victoria pulled out all the stops with an early celebration for David too. David hosted a black-tie gathering with wife Victoria, 51, their family and close friends earlier this week at a £10million Cotswolds estate. The elegant affair saw Becks and his guests donning tuxedos and ballgowns, sipping cocktails, and going for a midnight swim fully dressed. David's Porsche Penske from the IndyCar Series was seen parked up outside at the swanky soirée. As the night progressed things took a wild turn with some attendees jumping in David and Victoria 's pond, tuxedos and all. The superstar couple's youngest son Cruz shared a glimpse of the night on social media, posting a sweet photo with his girlfriend Jackie Apostel. They coordinated their looks with budding rock star Cruz in a classic tux and standout red braces, and Jackie in a striking red satin gown. NO SHOW? Amid the celebrations, tellingly, 26-year-old Brooklyn did not publicly post a 'happy birthday' message to his dad - the first time he has failed to do so. However, Becks had an 'amazing' day with the rest of his family, as the clan hired a £40 million Brigadier Global 6000 private jet, spending the afternoon supping wines in a Bordeaux vineyard. Wife Victoria paid tribute to him on Instagram with a montage of photos and a sweet clip of daughter Harper as a toddler, warbling 'There's only one David Beckham'. A source added: 'David had the most incredible day, and felt truly spoilt. 'The immediate family flew out from Oxford, spent the afternoon supping wines - even Harper had a little sip - and then jetted to Paris in the evening for dinner at one of his favourite restaurants. Victoria went all out. 'It was pretty much a perfect day, although sadly Brooklyn was unable to make it." 15 15 15
