“I was a huge fan of this wine before I knew it had any relation toCameron Diaz. Now that I know it’s her line, that’s just icing on the cake. As I get older, wine hits me harder the next day, so I have to be a little pickier about the ingredients. This organic wine is high-quality, yet affordable (you can get it at Target!), and it’s always a hit when I host girls' nights.” —Erin Johnson, associate shopping director

Leave it to celebrity chefKatie Lee Biegelto drop a must-stock brand of wine. After all, chefs’ palates are so vast, we’re not shocked that Biegel’s tastes (she’s co-founder of the brand) led to such a phenomenal line of drinks.
The affordable, zero-sugar line includes four red wines, three whites, one rosé, and one sparkling white from various countries. The brand even offers bundles that make gift-giving easy.

The brainchild of singer, songwriter (and all around rock icon) and actorJon Bon Joviand his son Jesse, this wine brand benefits from the touch of famed winemaker Gérard Bertrand — if you know, you know.
If you don’t know, the bottom line is that he knows how to make an impeccable wine. Right now, they just offer still rosé, and a recently added sparkling rosé (Hampton Water Bubbly), but we’re excited to see how the father and son duo expand their repertoire after the holiday gift-giving season.
“The sparkling rosé had me at first sip! It’s so perfectly balanced with a crisp, almost refreshing, taste. The bubbly sensation is subtle so it goes down smoothly; I could easily replace my actual water with this. I might be in trouble in the best way.”—Shalwah Evans, senior shopping editor

When actresses and gal palsJulianne Hough and Nina Debrovteamed up to create a line of wines, they also set out to make enjoyable, gluten-free, keto-friendly, vegan-friendly, low-carb, low-calorie, and low-sugar drinks.

If you’re looking for a top-dollar gift for your best gal pal, theLimited Reserve Cabernet Sauvignonis the way to go.

While the musician believes that “rosé is for when you want to get a little fancy,” we think it’s an acceptable everyday drink.

ThisJohn Legendwinery (did the nameLegend Vineyard Exclusivesgive it away?) offers 10 varieties that vary in price and taste, so there’s something for everyone. But it’s the sparkling rosé that truly has our hearts and wallets.
With the right balance of not too sweet and not to dry, it’s fruity, bubbly, and soft in the best way. Take note: It’s so light and tasty that you may find yourself at the bottom of the bottle quickly. You’ve been warned.
“I love sparkling rosé and this has easily become one of my favorites. I didn’t even know it was a celeb-owned brand when I first experienced it, I just knew it was good. The bubbles dance on your tongue so delightfully, plus it doesn’t taste syrupy or go flat quickly.” —Shalwah Evans, senior shopping editor

If you follow actressIssa Raeon social media, then it was no secret that she had been working on her prosecco for a while. So when it launched we were more than excited to get our hands on a glass, or bottle, or two. Whether you like a dry brut or a rosé with more citrus-forward notes, you’ll enjoy both offerings from theInsecurestar.
The bottles have a vintage feel that’ll stand out on any bar, so if you plan on gifting one for the holidays, all you need to do is put a bow on it.

TheseBlake Lively gourmet cocktailsmight come in a can, but that doesn’t make them any less fancy than a bottle of champagne or prosecco. The sparkly drinks are the party favors you need to set off any holiday celebration (or pool party, or girls’ night in).
We love how feminine and opulent the packaging is, almost as much as we love the taste of the sweet drinks that pack a punch. But what else would we expect from the actress, who drips in panache and oozes style?
“I’m not much of a tequila girl, but [Blake Lively] has turned me with her Sparkling Tequila and Oak Smoked Lemonade seltzer. Also, why was I never approached with the opportunity to combine these flavors before?” —Alyssa Brascia, Shopping writer

If you’re looking for a champagne that’s fresh, fruity and reminds you of its terroir as you sip it, then reach for anything from this brand where Oscar-winning actorLeonardo DiCaprio is a “significant” investor. The champagnes sit right at that price point of “I care about you but I still have bills,” even though they taste more like “I pawned my grandmother’s pearls to afford this.”
Drinking vodka is like a rite of passage; you’re not considered a fully-formed adult until you’ve had a good martini. And these celeb vodkas let you do it in style. Cheers!

ActorWalter Gogginsmay often play a villain or a ghoul with no olfactory limbs, but when it comes to vodka, he clearly has a nose for this. His super-affordable vodka (you can get a bottle for just $14!) is distilled right in California and has a slightly sweet, slightly minty feel. And in case you were wondering, he doesn’t stop at vodka: Mulholland also makes gin and whisky — all of which have won awards for their refined flavors and smooth finishes.

Lemon peel, coriander, rock salt, and acacia honey are just some of the ingredients you’ll find in this gin from “Harry Potter”alumEmma Watson and her brother Alex. If you don’t know anything about gin and what goes into it, allow us to explain: It’s yummy.
And it’s no wonder; the siblings come from a family of winemakers, which inspired the process of using upcycled grapes to create this fruit-forward spirit. We guess you could say the grape doesn’t fall far from the vineyard? Not to mention the small batch gin comes in the most stunning art deco bottle that catches the light perfectly from any angle.
“I was introduced to Emma Watson’s family’s state-of-the-art gin at a cocktail-making class, and I’ve been staving off using this bottle ever since (a.k.a. saving it for very important celebrations) because of how good it is. [It’s] a bold, citrusy concoction with hints of sweetness and spice that tastes incredible in a martini with a twist.” —Alyssa Brascia, shopping writer

It’s no shocker that celebrity chefRachael Raycan whip up an alcoholic concoction good enough to rival any recipe she’s perfected in the kitchen. Her gin, launched with Do Good Spirits, is crafted with coriander, Castelvetrano olives, bergamot orange peel, tarragon, extra virgin olive oil and a bunch of other ingredients you would find in the culinary genius’s staple foods. The bottle is as festive looking as you’d want a holiday gift to be, and the best part is that it’ll cost you less than $50.

Award-winning actor, producer and entrepreneurBrad Pittseems like he knows liquor — and we don’t mean that in a bad way. His handcrafted gin is exactly what you need to convince your loved ones that you’re a master mixologist, whipping up gimlets and Tom Collins with the smoothest finish. And looking at how sleek and inviting the bottle is, you’d be convinced that Pitt was a sculptor in another life, too.
When we talk about giftable alcohol, this is what we envision. You can put it on the mantle, the bar, your vanity — it will look good anywhere in the home.
“It has a delicately floral flavor profile that bounces between juniper, orange, and grapefruit, which brightens any drink. Plus, its pristine packaging adds a touch of sophistication to any liquor cabinet or bar cart.” —Alyssa Brascia, shopping writer

Someone certainly left the door open for a celeb to launch a new rum and singerBruno Marsslid in and grabbed the opportunity. Not only is the bottle as sexy as the “Die With a Smile” crooner, but according to customers on Total Wine, the rum is as smooth as Mars too.
The chocolate and coconut flavors are perfect for mixing or sipping alone, and the reserve is an investment bottle that’s quite the treasure when you present it as a gift.

We can say that we finally got our hands onCiara’s goodies, and boy are they delicious. The singer/songwriter launched the rich line of rum with founder and CEO Marc Farrell, whose Trinidadian roots are at the core of the brand. While Ciara’s involvement with the brand has been pretty hush, the splash that this brand is making has been pretty loud.

If this tequila makes you feel alright, alright, alright, that may be because it’s the best thing that Hollywood power coupleMatthew McConaughey and Camila McConaughey“made with our pants on.”
There’s nothing better than enjoying a drink made with love and fun, and their blanco, reposado, and añejo are all made with both. They’re slim enough to fit in a large clutch or small tote, so that you can take the good time on-the-go, and you won’t ever forget to bring a bottle to every holiday party you’re attending this season.

Fans of singer, songwriter and entrepreneurBeyoncéweren’t surprised when the multihyphenate dropped this whisky brand since she had been pretty vocal about her love of the spirits category. Nor were they surprised that the “Heated” singer’s whisky had already won awards and garnered international praise. Pull up a seat, grab your highball, and let’s toast to the single ladies and everyone else who can appreciate a fine drink.

But when the unofficial queen of Christmas has an Irish cream that’ll give anyone’s eggnog or coquito a kick, you may need to make an exception. All we want for Christmas is singerMariah Carey’s Irish cream liqueur — and maybe her shoe collection.

Even the sleek bottle that houses the rich drink screams more-is-more, and you’ll keep wanting more of this sweet and spicy whisky. It’s the centerpiece of an elegant and modern liquor cabinet; everything else should be designed around it.
