It’s among my very favorite beer drinking months, as its when styles like porter, brown ale, pumpkin ale and others just hit a little bit harder (for me).

Until fairly recently, gin was considered an “old person’s drink” here in the U.S. But those days appear to be firmly behind us, thanks to the craft cocktail revival of the early aughts, and the increasing popularity of drinks like the Martini and Negroni. The Covid-19 pandemic and its stay-at-home order only accelerated gin’s journey from professional back bars onto home bar carts nationwide, with volume sales swelling by 2.5 percent to reach just under 9.3 million cases in 2020.

Wine is so commonly portrayed as a luxury, a status symbol that brings to many a depiction of sophisticated dinner parties in fancy chateaus and cellars full of rare vintages priced well into triple digits. The idea that good wine has to be pricey is just a clever marketing illusion that far too many consumers continue to fall for. At its most basic level, wine is the great everyday pleasure that should be brought within range of everyone who wants it.
