One of the easiest gifts to wrap is a bottle of something special—just slip in a bag or throw on a bow and you’re ready to go! Choosing the right libation for your friend or family member might prove a little trickier though, which is why we put together this handy wine wheel to help you with great gifting and personal picks alike.

247365 Wine: Bold enough to pair with food or savor on their own, these great go-to wines can be enjoyed almost anytime and anywhere without breaking the bank. We’ll raise a glass to that!

Wine isn’t the only way to go a-wassailing! Craft beers and sensational spirits are also fantastic options when it comes to spreading holiday cheers. Try one of these pro picks guaranteed to impress, or talk to your local Wine Steward for more inspiration.

Redwood Empire Whiskey: For all the whiskey lovers out there, this local Northern California distillery offers exceptional quality for the price. Redwood Empire uses custom equipment to produce unique, pure, clean spirits that they barrel-age in the cool climate of western Sonoma to create whiskeys as unique and complex as the redwood trees they’re named after. As an added bonus, they plant a tree for every bottle sold!

Pliny the Elder: If you’re looking for the perfect gift for that craft beer nerd or IPA lover, look no further. This fan favorite is the most sought-after IPA in the country! Boasting notes of pine, citrus and floral, Pliny the Elder is both balanced and packed with flavor. Keep in mind, this craft beer is always stored cold and brewed to be enjoyed fresh, so be sure to give a bottle to that special someone sooner rather than later!
