Christmas Drinks

My usual line up is JD, Tanqueray, decent red, half decent fizz, Budweiser, Magners (Red Apple was my fave when they did it) and Old Speckled Hen/Buttcombe Gold + a Christmas special/blast from the past like Malibu, Southern Comfort or Pernod etc.
Thinking of trying JD single/silver single barrel and Tanqueray No. Ten this year. Are they worth it?
Wife likes other gins, but Tanqueray is my fave and the bottle is very Chrismassy in colour (think the No. Ten comes in two bottle types and one is the same colour as the standard one) so I will not be swayed on the gin.
Any tips on the decent reds or Christmas special?
No, I have not been drinking.

Christmas is for buying presents and getting drunk.
Also went to Belgium yesterday for some beer. And wine in Calais on the way home. And some gin on the ferry. My house is awash with booze. One thing I did pick up recently was Angostura bitters for pink gins.
It's all about quality, not quantity of course. And remember to enjoy responsibly.
Can't you get anything any newer :P

Jesus was into home brew if I recall, and didn't mind the odd tipple (John 2: 1-11). So, you can have wine if you like, unless you're holier than jesus?
