Well, for me post Christmas till Jan 3rd are the typical relax time of the year. The Holidays are over, work is slow if I'm not burning vacation before the New Year, and people drive like they're not rushing to get the last Turboman ;D.
Beer wise: Pete's Wicked Winter is always a treat if it is a good year, the last bottle of Oberon from the summer trip to Kalamazoo--it's a summer beer, but hey, the last Spaten Oktoberfest, John Courage, Koenigshoven, Belgin Wheat, and that Heffenwisenhimer that I cannot remember the name of :icon_scratch:
Spirit wise: The MacAllan. 12, 18, 25 year in descending order of preference. Neat. no water. no ice. room temperature. I haven't tried anything older than 25 years yet, but that is at $700 a bottle last I looked. A friend forwarded me link to get some 60 year for $13k
Also, I like a sweet tea flavored vodka called Sweet Magnolia. Better for summer, but as a southerner sweet tea is in the blood. Only the 80 proof. The 40 proof adds
lemon flavor

Wine: I just discovered mead. enough said
