– Smirnoff
– Bacardi
– Johnnie Walker
– Martini
– Stolichnaya
– Hennessy
– Absolut
– Jack Daniel’s
– Chivas Regal
And here’s “the wine list”, the list of the top ten wine brands (overall ranking in parenthesis)
– Gallo (17)
– Hardys (21)
– Concha y Toro (24)
– Robert Mondavi (36)
– Yellowtail (43)
– Jacob’s Creek (47)
– Lindemans (50)
– Sutter Home (56)
– Blossom Hill (65)
