Fall Wine & Spirit Favorites

September 30, 2019

Check out my fall finds inspired by wine, beer and spirits. They will keep you happy throughout the season. Enjoy!

  

Mezcal Union Joven

This agave alcohol is strong, smooth and dry. If you consume it straight, you will see images of your ancestors. I recommend making a fruity cocktail with it – fantastic. You’ll thank me in the morning. Cheers!

Retail price: $40
Size: 750ml
Available: Fine wine and liquor stores, www.Drizzly.com, and www.ReserveBar.com

Wine Nook Box Wine Dispenser

This adorable nook makes me smile. Place a 3-liters wine bag inside and dispense. Perfect for entertaining. I want two more – everything is better in threes. Also available in black and in white.

Retail price: $59
Size: 5.75″ x 6.5″ x 16″
Available: www.winenook.com

 

Wine Condoms

Interesting, useful and fun – this rubber condom prevents wine from spilling and air from getting into the bottle. It looks like the real thing and it’s simple to use. Drink responsibly!

Retail price: $15
Size: 4″ x 1″ x 4″
Available: Amazon

Happy Day Brands Beer Chocolate Bars

As a nonbeer drinker, I find this pub collection delicious. It consists of Dark Chocolate Brown Ale and Peanuts, Dark Chocolate Porter and Almonds, and Milk Chocolate Pale Ale. The pungent cocoa leaves room for a subtle beer flavor that’s pleasing to the palate. I’m delighted!

Retail price: $23.95 for 6-pack
Size: 1.5 oz.
Available: www.happydaybrands.com

Social Toasted Coconut Almond Sparkling Wine

Feeling social? This refreshing sake wine tastes as described with a hint of sweetness. The aromatic smell lightens my mood and it only has 88 calories, 4g of carbs, and 1g of sugar. I love it!

Retail price: $10.99 | 4-pack
Size: 10 oz.
Available: www.socialsparklingwine.com and wine stores nationwide

PureWine The Wand Wine Filter

This wine filter answers the call. It minimizes side effects from drinking wine such as headaches. It works well for me especially after a glass of red vino. Swirl it. Toss it. Sip!

Retail price: $11.99 for 5 | $19.99 for 10 | $54.99 for 30 | $154.99 for 90
Size: 2.8″ x 1.5″ x 6.5″
Available: www.drinkpurewine.com

Häagen-Dazs Spirits Ice Cream and Non-Dairy

Though they contain less than 0.5 percent alcohol by volume, I’m here for the Bourbon Vanilla Bean Truffle, Rum Tres Leches, Stout Chocolate Pretzel Crunch, Bourbon Praline Pecan, and the Non-Dairy Amaretto Black Cherry Almond. Each one is true to its name. They have a creamy-boozy profile that wiggles your feet. Scrumptious and highly recommended.

Retail price: $4.99
Size: 14 oz.
Available: Grocery stores nationwide
