2011 has been a hard year. Global Revolution! Natural disasters! Bankruptcy! What's next? We're not hedging bets for 2012 just yet, but in case things don't turn out the way you'd expected, we've got you covered. Core77's Ultimate Gift Guide has everything you need to get through these hard times and survive through the... end times?
Today's pick is from Allan Chochinov: Allan Chochinov is the editor in chief of Core77 and Chair of the new MFA in Products of Design graduate program at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
Even in hard times there's so much to celebrate! Break out the bubbly (without the guilt) with this Cristalino. According to Allan, "this under-ten-dollar fake champagne rivals almost any genuine article in the $60-$80 range, including you're famed Veuve Clicquot." You will need to toast to 2012 at the start of it, and then again on the last day of it (read, Armageddon), so stock up with a dozen of these and enjoy this final year right to the last drop.
