25 doorsMillilitres a door is the divide: the whisky boxes are 30 ml drams sold on strength (Master of Malt averages 46.5% ABV, Hard To Find starts at 40%), the beer boxes are full cans, the wine 187 ml. Virgin names every bottle and Beer Cartel all 25 cans; Beer52 names some of its beers. The alcohol page holds the whole shelf with its How to choose; the food cut beside this one has the snacks, coffee and spice boxes.
Whisky calendars are wax-sealed 30 ml drams, one a day, from a bottler who keeps the line-up secret by design; wine boxes are 187 ml minis, a full glass, mostly with the list printed; the gin box is 5 cl a door, a double. Which of those the drinker wants decides the shelf before any price does.
15 of the 15 here come with the maker's list of what is behind the doors — Beer Cartel Beer Advent Calendar 2026, Beer52 Craft Beer 2026 and BrewDog 2026 among them; 0 do not. On a whisky shelf the secret is the format, so buy on the bottler's record and the strength; on wine and gin the list is printed and worth reading.
Across the 15 here with a list price, a door costs from about $3 to about $36, and the median is about $5.54. That is 4 GBP a dram at the standard whisky box and 8 at the premium; the difference is the tier of the whisky, not the amount. How the door price is counted
15 of the 31 on this page are 2026 editions and every one carries a verdict from us. The earlier editions stay listed for the record; the grid puts this season first.

Rated on the brewery list and the range of styles; the pairing of beer to brewery stays sealed until the door opens.
