In the Spirit with Celebrity-Launched Wines and Liquors

From Kate Hudson's new vodka to Dylan Sprouse's Brooklyn-made mead, celebrities with their own brands of spirits and wines can make drink-loving fans happy at the holidays.

You can find other pillars of culture with bottles, including TV shows and the high-brow auction house Sotheby's. Whether your gift recipient is into Florida Georgia Line or Diane Keaton, there may be a bottle out there ready for you to buy and wrap up.

Some ideas:
