About
Wine-Based Cream Specialty
A Wine-Based Cream Specialty is a wine-based cream liqueur-like beverage. These sweet and creamy treats are great to sip chilled after dinner or mixed into dessert cocktails. They are commonly styled as Irish Creams, Eggnogs, and other holiday cream liqueurs. As a non-spirit alcohol beverages, these products often fit the needs of restaurants and retailers with a "wine and beer only" license that can't legally sell spirits. They are a also profitable category as they are taxed at a lower rate than spirits.
