Drinking alcohol can really put a dent in your wallet, whether you’re enjoying some bubbly champagne, a nice glass of wine, a strong scotch or whisky, or even a smooth brandy. But there are plenty of passionate folks out there who don’t mind spending their hard-earned cash on the thrill of sipping these most expensive alcoholic drinks in the world. Big companies that make these drinks, like Boston Beer, Constellation Brands, Anheuser-Busch InBev, Diageo, Brown-Forman, and Molson Coors Beverage, went through a bumpy ride in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
