As an alternative to holiday punches and port wines, consider mead, which is one of the oldest wines on record. Dating back to 9,000 B.C., it has recently made a comeback, popping up on fine-dining restaurant menus.
Essentially made by fermenting honey, water and beer yeast – and brewing with spices, fruits or other flavors for signature accents – this full-bodied, sweet wine pairs quite well with winter-holiday foods, especially grilled cuisine.

you can stock up for holiday gatherings.
