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 various reasons, most of my family doesn’t drink alcohol anymore. And this year will mark our first holiday gathering that’s alcohol-free. Fortunately, with an ever-growing category of spirit-free options , the transition from cocktails to no-alcohol drinks should be easy.

Gin lovers , rejoice! Of course, you could get complicated and use a still pot or mini-distillery, but… It’s actually illegal to distill your own liquor without a license, even just for personal use.

Maximum enjoyment is the name of the game with all pairings — that’s the rule, and really the only rule. But that’s especially true when it comes to matching up wine with something as whimsical and nostalgic as Christmas cookies. That said, general wine-pairing wisdom recommends that your chosen wine should be sweeter than what you’re eating, as more saccharine food can accentuate harshness or unwanted bitterness in your glass.
