Looking for some appley sips this holiday season? Nikka Whisky offers a pair of tipple-tastic options with its apple wine and lighter Nouveau Sparkling apple cider, both a treat at just ¥1,045 each. Only 2 percent alcohol by volume, the cider pops as a light after-dinner drink, while the barrel-aged wine presents more than the label suggests: In addition to apple-based wine, it includes a blend of fruit juice and brandy, offering a woody 22-percent punch. Available online at Rakuten Global Market, as well as major liquor shops and department stores.
