24 doorsA glass a night is the format; what differs is whether you know the glass in advance. Virgin prints the list, Malbec to Fetească Neagră, and most of it is the merchant's own labels; In Good Taste keeps its list and sells on the regions. Per glass that is 4.17 GBP at Virgin and just under 6.50 USD at In Good Taste. The gin box at Virgin, 24 named gins at 5 cl, is on the gin page.
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.
5 of the 5 here come with the maker's list of what is behind the doors — In Good Taste Luxury Wine 2026, In Good Taste Red Wine 2026 and In Good Taste White & Rosé 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 5 here with a list price, a door costs from about $5 to about $10, and the median is about $6.87. 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
5 of the 17 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.
The best value among the calendars here that we have rated this season, rated 4/5, $154.99, 24 doors. A full 187 ml glass a night from seven regions, Napa and Sonoma to Austria and New Zealand; a wine calendar for people who want a drink rather than a taster, at 154.99 USD. The wines are not named before December, so you buy the regions and the brand's record, not a list.
