The holiday season is here, bringing festive gatherings, endless toasts, and plenty of opportunities to indulge. While enjoying the celebrations is important, waking up with a pounding headache and regrets isn’t part of the plan. Fortunately, you can enjoy your holiday cheer while minimizing the risk of a hangover by following some simple tips.

it’s important to distinguish between wines you simply don’t like and those that are genuinely bad. Perhaps you’re not a fan of highly tannic reds, or overly oaked whites aren’t your style—that doesn’t make them flawed, just not suited to your palate.  

When evaluating wine, consider both its technical qualities and your own tastes. If the wine is free of faults and balanced but still doesn’t excite you, chalk it up to preference rather than a problem. But find something you love!

Terroir—the unique combination of natural elements that shapes a wine’s character—is the essence of winemaking. From the soil beneath the vines to the hands that nurture them, every component contributes to the story in your glass.
