The Duchess of Sussex shared the message on the eve of Queen Camilla’s 78th birthday.
Meghan, who resides in Montecito, California, with Prince Harry and their two children, did not specify which “ladies” were receiving the wine gifts.
The video revealed a carefully curated presentation, beginning with Meghan opening a wooden box to display three bottles of her rosé brand lying in decorative straw.
The footage then transitioned to show the wine bottles artfully arranged amongst fresh flowers and fruit.
Buckingham Palace commemorated the occasion by releasing a new photograph of the Queen on Wednesday.
The photograph captured the Queen in relaxed spirits at Raymill, her private residence in Wiltshire.

Buckingham Palace commemorated the occasion by releasing a new photograph of the Queen on Wednesday.
Taken by Chris Jackson earlier this month, the image showed Camilla leaning against a fence post in a field of tall grass beneath bright summer sunshine.
She wore a striking teal button-up blouse decorated with jungle motifs featuring green foliage and tropical creatures, including parrots, flamingos and monkeys.
The Queen completed her look with gold hoop earrings, a gold bracelet and her characteristic rings.
Camilla, who was on official duty for her birthday last year, attending the State Opening of Parliament alongside King Charles III, is expected to mark this year’s celebration privately.
