According to thebar.com’s “Toasts and Tastes” survey that came out on December 6, a lot of people - 60 percent of respondents  — would be happy to receive wine, spirits or beer as a corporate gift this holiday season. Add me to the list.

Like many people who participate in the gift-giving tradition in December, I’m not done with my gift shopping.  I don’t have a lot of anxiety about gifts for the adults on my list, though, since I am purchasing a wine or spirits for many of them.

The recipients of my gifts of wine or spirits always seem appreciative.  And if you think it’s repetitive to give the same type of gift every year, I would say that I think it is better than the vast multitude of decorative scented gift candles that are “on deck” in my basement waiting to be called into use.  (It’s safe to bet I’m not the only one out their with an extensive candle collection.)

And, as a host, I do like to see a bottle of wine coming in the door as a gift.  If I don’t particularly like the selection, I can always cook with it and use the cork for the bulletin board I’m making.  I’m don’t usually re-gift, buy you can do that easily with wine and spirits.  A new gift bag, and presto

So, there is still time to get that bottle.  I recommend Bailey’s — always a perfect gift, and now there are new flavors - mint chocolate and caramel - to make your gift even more interesting.

Happy holidays.
