Trends that Proof predicts this holiday season include:
- Spirits that go down smoothly when the temperature drops include aged rum, mezcal, cognac, bourbon and whiskey.
- Sparkling wines and Champagne aren’t just for the holidays anymore, but customers should stock up, as more bubbles are still sold during the holidays than any other time of year.
- Hot cocktails, like mulled wine or a variety of spirited hot chocolate and coffee beverages will warm even the Grinch’s heart. Liqueurs, creams and cordials, like peppermint schnapps, hazelnut liqueur, raspberry liqueur or Irish cream are just a few of the many options that can add that holiday spirit to a cup of hot cocoa or coffee.
- Consumers are seeing red — red wine that is — this holiday season. Wine drinkers gravitate to red varieties that pair best with the heartier foods served during winter meals.
