One day recently, Toby Cecchini received a text message from a spirits industry friend of his. It was a photo of a bottle of Beefeater Gin sitting on a shelf at a Maryland liquor store, showing an ABV of 40 percent. “I was gobsmacked,” says Cecchini, co-owner of Brooklyn’s Long Island Bar. He went down to his liquor storage room and looked at his Beefeater bottles.

Vodka is a staple for a reason: It’s a high-low workhorse. It serves as the star of iconic cocktails like the Cosmopolitan and the Espresso Martini , and offers its neutral profile to the ubiquitous dive bar necessity that is the Vodka Soda. While often overlooked in favor of its fellow clear spirits or given a bad rap for its many flavored expressions and fruit-soaked interpretations , vodka deserves a place on every home bartender’s bar cart, and we’ve chosen our favorites to share this season

The number of blanco tequilas on the market can be head-spinning. Though añejos and reposados tend to command a hefty price tag, premium blancos are now catching up in prestige, and it can be hard to know what you’re in for when you pick up a new bottle from the shelf. But we did the heavy lifting by tasting through hundreds of tequilas this past calendar year, and after all the dust settled, there was one expression that we felt was deserving of the top spot: Primo 1861 Blanco.

Today, we take a look outside of France to gain more context on how trade routes and draining water-entrenched land gave way to increased wine production and, in turn, Bordeaux’s rise to fine-wine fame. This chapter begins in the Netherlands in the 13th century when the Dutch entered into an alliance with German merchants called the Hanseatic League, which allowed merchants to protect mutual trading interests.
