I have almost exclusively been drinking beer from local breweries here in Seattle. I'm a food/beverage writer with a craft beer focus, and have been working on some stories about the industry, so it's even closer than usual to my heart. I've also been really trying to support the breweries throughout COVID with to-go purchases since, like everyone in the industry, they've been hit so hard. And it's coming up on my favorite beer season (Stouts, Porters and anything barrel-aged are my jam), so that helps. The places I patronize do a good job of sourcing locally and following sustainable practices, and I almost exclusively buy natural wine from this side of the country, but I have to say it's not something I've actively thought about as much when it comes to making a purchase decision, so I'm glad you pointed that out. When it comes to habits, I'm drinking less than before the pandemic, but my consumption has never been super high... one, maybe two drinks at a time, probably three days a week on average.
