You can easily sip it on its own all day long, and, thanks to its low levels of sugar, you won’t be fighting a sucrose-induced hangover tomorrow. If you do plan to whip up a pitcher of Mimosas, we suggest going 50-50 with Zonin Prosecco and fresh-squeezed orange juice. You can also try peach, guava, watermelon, cranberry, pomegranate, passion fruit, and just about any other fruit juice your heart desires. If you really want to add sparkle to your meal, try adding a drizzle of Zonin Prosecco to your pancake or waffle mix.

Constellation kinda regrets dropping $1 billion on Ballast Point in 2015, and is more interested in investing in emerging categories like mezcal and cannabis. Ballast Point pioneered one of the country’s best beer cities; produced a world-famous line of IPAs; sold to a global alcohol conglomerate; and built new facilities in tourism-friendly places (even Disneyland! ).

After all, the name alludes to the Buffett song Fins, the product is displayed prominently on Buffett’s Web site and the bottle says the lager is made by Margaritaville Brewing Co. of Jacksonville.

The winery and vineyards are located in Getaria, a small Basque coastal village in northern Spain. And the grape is the local Ondarrabi Zuri, grown in Txomin Etxaníz’s 148 acres of hillside vineyards that slope down to the Bay of Biscay.
