Then there's holiday tipping. We asked our experts some critical holiday questions. The answers will help you survive the season. The well-stocked bar has six staples, according to Bob Kreston, vice president of Kreston Liquor Mart in Wilmington. They are vodka, gin, rum, scotch, bourbon and a blended whisky.
Canadian whiskies are the most popular.
The holidays demand top-shelf quality, says Michael Davis, operations manager of ABC Discount Liquors in Bear. Buy Absolut vodka, for instance, instead of less expensive vodka in a plastic jug. If you don't want to mess with hard liquor, simply offer beer and wine. Kreston suggests 1.5 liters of chardonnay and merlot. Each container delivers about 12 glasses.
