Double Cross Vodka

Rating: NNN

Why: It just wouldn’t be a proper TIFF without waterfalls of vodka, but why not stray from the usual suspects and try something new? With a name evocative of a film noir plot twist – but actually a nod to the Slovakian coat of arms – Double Cross is creamy, clean and very easy to drink indeed.

Price: 750 ml/$59.95

Great Lakes Brewery Audrey Hopburn

Rating: NNNN

Why: Celebrity beer puns aside, a single sip of Great Lakes’ Belgian-style IPA will enlighten you as to the parallels between an idolized film and fashion icon and a local beer. Both are sophisticated as hell, originally hailing from Belgium. Best enjoyed in the company of a little black dress… or tux.

Pierre Brigandat & Fils Brut Rosé Champagne

Rating: NNNN

Why: Star-spangled affairs call for champagne, champagne and more champagne. Made from 100 per cent Pinot Noir, this rich bubbly is packed with complexity: red and bitter fruits and tannic acidity with a touch of funk. Grab a value pack of Liqui-Gels, XL sunglasses and maybe one of those Evian face spritzers, because you’re going to have a few flutes….

Price: 750 ml/$43.95

Availability: Vintages 340372
