A GIFT GIVER’S GUIDE TO THIS YEAR’S TOP 5 WINES AND SPIRITS

Say “Cheers” to the Holidays with These Best Bets from Around the World

Bayonne, NJ, OCT. (Spiritsman) 10/19/17/–19, 2017 – ‘Tis the season to make a little merry, and your calendar is filled with lots of social events. But you wouldn’t show up to a party empty-handed, would you? Oh, and ‘tis also the season to say thanks to friends, colleagues, clients, and the people who make your life easier all year long. Time to go shopping.

You can spend days running from one mall to the next in search of different gifts for each person on your list, and hope for the best. Or you can give them all something everyone appreciates – a good bottle of wine or spirits to sip, savor, and share.

This year’s top picks from Royal Wine come in a wide range of prices, but all are special enough to impress. Let these suggestions take the guesswork out of gift-giving – and entice you to treat yourself to some holiday cheer as well.

Here are the 5 most gift-worthy wines and spirits for 2017:

Bartenura Sparkling Moscato Rosé

$17.99*

Bartenura is the most popular Italian Moscato in the U.S. market and beyond. With its luxurious taste, appearance, and mouthfeel, the Sparkling Rosé is like upgrading from coach to first class. Slightly sweet, it’s a festive companion to cheese and dessert. And its “couture fashion” inspired gift bag is a feast for the eyes, too.

Teperberg Legacy Petite Sirah

$69.99*

The Legacy Petite Sirah showcases why Teperberg is a rising star among Israel’s wineries. Their flagship wine is not only delicious but also intriguing. Aged in French oak barrels, this deep red offers a soft flavor and rich texture with a complex balance of fruit and roasted oak.

Carmel Limited Edition

$69.99*

A powerful yet elegant Bordeaux-style wine, the Carmel Limited Edition represents the best of Israeli winemaking. Its distinct Mediterranean notes are bold and earthy, characterized by a rich, smooth, fruity taste. Carmel Winery was founded in 1882 by Baron Edmond de Rothschild, owner of the legendary Château Lafite-Rothschild, and the Limited Edition is a tribute to its origins.

LVOV Vodka “Say it with LVOV” Gift Box (1.75 liter)

$19.99 – $21.99*

LVOV’s premium Polish vodka offers the best value for the money. Crafted in the old tradition from potatoes (and thus gluten-free), it is distilled and filtered four times for a hint of mineral taste with a touch of sweetness with a slightly herbal aroma. A refined, mellow sip as part of your favorite cocktail or enjoyed its own. LVOV Vodka Gift Boxes are available in a choice of six “expressive” options that will definitely convey “Thank You.”
