"black friday 2009" news and stories

That whole shop-til-you-drop mania is best concluded, we feel, with a glass of wine. After fighting mall crowds and boutique divas, you'll need to wind down properly -- and pulling through a fast-food restaurant's drive-thru is not exactly what we have in mind.

Uncork or uncap one of these three wines once you're back home without busting your budget.

Banfi Rosa Regale: This is a fabulous red bubbly for around $12 (375 milliliters). Didn't score a deal on Italian leather shoes? Don't worry. You can sip this Strevi, Italy-produced sweetie -- raspberry notes and a rose-petals nose -- all night. This wine's got legs. (Tip: Call your man from the mall's parking garage and tell him to put this in the fridge next to all the Thanksgiving Day leftovers.)
