Prosecco suffers from a problem of perception. Up until 2009, the name could refer to either the grape or the wine, allowing producers outside of the wine’s historic northern Italian home to use Prosecco grapes and bottle it as such. The grape was officially renamed Glera to help differentiate and protect the Prosecco DOC, which is further divided into smaller regions representing higher tiers of quality.

For several years, Steve Luke pondered making a malty winter warmer, the strong spiced ale popularized by Anchor Brewing ’s Christmas Ale, an annual tradition since 1975. However, “I didn’t know if we’d be able to sell 15 barrels,” says Luke, the founder and head brewer of Seattle’s Cloudburst Brewing. But after Sapporo U.S.A. announced Christmas Ale’s end and then closed Anchor this summer , the loss opened a fragrant niche.

In the world of Scotch , more emphasis is usually placed on age than alcohol content, but Glenglassaugh’s Sandend Highland Single Malt challenges that concept. At an even-keeled 50.5 percent ABV with no age statement given, this whisky is testament to the promising experimental Scotches often overlooked in favor of the aged, assertive expressions that have dominated the space for years.

A classic expression of Tuscany, the wine hits all the highlights and expectations, including bright cherry, jammy plum, and gentle florals to keep the fruit in check. Some darker cocoa powder and nutmeg notes on the finish.

White wine has historically faced the stereotype that it’s not as prestigious or worthwhile as red or sparkling. Even though those tides appear to be turning , some people still may not gravitate toward the category when it comes to gifting. But white wine can be just as complex, ageable, and splurge-worthy as any other style — especially if you know what to look for.
