Enjoy the Marzipan, lemon cur, and sweet honeysuckle notes in the aromatic 2018 Kenefick Ranch Grenache Blanc. One special (or two or three) person will enjoy some alcohol gifts that lend an underlying creamy note to this crisp white wine. As you toast in the holidays together, pair it with a wide variety of foods that tickle your tastebuds; from fish to mighty meats and heartily-spiced entrées, it’s sure to complement extremely well.
Be sure to drop this in a stocking, the 2015 Kenefick Ranch Merlot has glorious notes of spicy cedar topped with jamming raspberry and plum variations. Sit back and enjoy a glass as the silky tannins warm your mouth with fresh berries kissed with a light touch of vanilla bean to finish lingering on your palate.

Gift a bottle to celebrate now, gift one for yourself to magically age in the cellar for another 8 – 12 years; trust us, you’ll want to do that!
Tiki Lovers
The pandemic may have derailed your winter break in the Caribbean, but Tiki Lovers has just the cure for those homebound holiday blues.

Wine Access
What better way to put a huge smile on the face of a wine lover than with a box from Wine Access? With their Wine Club, a loved one will receive a box of perfectly curated wines by a Master Sommelier, a Master of Wine, and an International Wine Judge. Even if you’re gifting from afar, the gift recipient is sure to be getting delicious wines they’ll enjoy.
Or treat yourself to a great box of wine just in time for the holidays. The wines aren’t from specific areas or brands. Each bottle is from all over the world, only chosen by their delectable taste. Get tasting cards filled with incredible information about each wine, and exclusive video tasting notes with insights from industry experts. It’s a great way to spend time inside, sipping and enjoying a beautiful beverage or two. Cheers!

Ohza
Brunch’s favorite beverage has a new look with Ohza Mimosas. This drink, made with all-natural ingredients like real sparkling wine and fruit juice, has all the flavor but fewer calories and sugar than a standard mimosa.

If you really want to impress that special someone, give the Centenary a try. Created to commemorate 100 years since the co-founder’s passing, this whiskey is meticulously crafted and delivers its own unique characteristics. Take a trip to Ireland without leaving your living room this winter, with Egan’s.
Vahdam Teas
We don’t believe food gifts will ever be under-appreciated. If one loves to drink and is a bit on the tea crack, then they’ll absolutely fall in love with Vahdam Teas. It’s the kind of gift that says, I want to spend time with you, let’s have some tea and chat.

Big Hammer Wines
A refreshing glass of rosé to toast in the holidays sounds just about right. Whether you are looking for alcohol gifts or you need a bottle to bring to dinner, one of the 2019 Rosé All Day French Rosé 6pk bottles will do just nicely. Even though rosé’s are usually paired and best for summertime, we’re breaking the rules a bit. You see, COVID took away our summertime fun with gatherings with friends, so we’re doing it now, during the holiday.
With aromatic notes of watermelon and strawberry, we can bring summertime to us anytime of year. It’s crisp and fresh with a long fruity finish and that’s probably what we could all use right about now! So, add this 100% Grenache in Languedoc Roussilon gem to your alcohol gifts’ list and celebrate a summer-like holiday season with your loved ones.
Don Q
The older the drink, the better the alcohol gift. At least it is with Don Q‘s Reserva 7. A magnificent aged Puerto Rico rum crafted with a curated blend of rums aged for a minimum (that’s minimum, people) of 7 years in American white oak barrels. Can you see where we are going with this? We’re talking, character, rich flavors, and an ideal choice for your holiday gatherings. Grab some inspiration with these recipes and you’ll be the talk of the party in a VERY good way!
For a clear rum to add to your bar, the Don Q Cristal is unlike many clear rums on the market. By using a multiple distillation process, you’ll enjoy a cleaner and refined flavor profile that is so delicate, each sip pleasantly smooth. Like the former, it too is aged anywhere from 1.5 to 5 years in American White Oak barrels for that smoothness we all appreciate.
If you don’t have any vodka around for those drinkers in your life, try this, they’ll be pleasantly surprised and won’t even notice you switched on them. Thoroughly enjoy each toast and celebration by choosing this for your alcohol gifts this holiday season; responsibly of course!
