Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- English (US)
- Japanese
correct and natural, but
私は先月フランスで買った高いワインを彼女にあげるのを忘れた。
is better, because in the original sentence, 「彼女に」and 「あげるのを」are a bit away from each other, so the sentence is more difficult to comprehend.

And a professional writer would write,
先月フランスで買った高いワインを彼女にあげるのを私は忘れた。
to make main subject and main verb come closer, which is normal for English sentences, but not for Japanese ones:)

When speaking, subject is more likely to be omitted, but getting subject and verb closer and getting modifier and modified word closer are basics.
