Picture this: The lights are strung, your table is set, and the holiday feast is calling. Now, what to drink?

As much as we love our seltzers, the holiday season tends to take our taste buds to red wine + brown liquor – so we asked the local experts at Bottles (610 Coleman Blvd., Mount Pleasant) what they recommend.

Here are 4 popular, easy-drinking bevs that are perfect for the holidays + available now at Bottles through in-person shopping (with employees on-hand to offer additional customized recommendations), call/email-ahead order, and curbside pickup:
