In 2020 and 2021, alcohol stocks were among the best-performing consumer staples stocks. But it's been a different story over the last three years. Higher prices brought on by inflation have caused many consumers to cut back on consumption. Or, in some cases, move away from more expensive wine and spirits to beer.

In this special presentation, we're looking at seven alcohol stocks that are interesting buys heading into 2025.

And many of these companies make a commitment to rewarding shareholders with share buybacks and/or dividends.
