25 Early 2022 Food, Drink & Health Discoveries You Can Order Online

With everything happening in the world, there is still a lot of uncertainty going around. But everyone needs to stay nourished and healthy, and there is no shortage of exciting food, drink or health offerings to order online. If you are searching for new food, drink and health-related discoveries, you have come to the right place as I have been monitoring the latest and greatest from online retailers. Here are 25 items you can order online today, with direct purchase links included below.

VINTUS

In April 2004, Michael Quinttus founded VINTUS based on his desire to develop a focused portfolio of exceptional, family-owned, estate-based producers of hand-crafted wines. Quinttus was previously a senior executive at Kobrand Corporation, where he managed their wine portfolio. Every visitor to this website knows that wine uniquely enhances the quality of life. One of wine’s most thrilling dimensions is the seemingly endless range of aroma, flavor and texture profiles it offers, depending on vineyard sites, grapes used, climate and vinification. As wine consumers and professionals become more experienced with wine, they relish this diversity and savor new flavor and style experiences.

The E. Guigal Côtes du Rhône Rouge 2017 — carrying a suggested retail price of $18.00 — offers tremendous warmth, spice and pleasure, but in a decidedly-individual fashion. It is, unlike virtually every other Côtes du Rhône, based on Syrah, a Northern Rhône approach that lends greater aromatic intensity and structure, though is far more difficult and costly to produce in the Southern Rhône. This deep and dark red is intensely aromatic on the nose with black fruits and spices. Overall a complete wine, with a long finish, with elegance and finesse accompanying the abundance of fruit and well-balanced tannins.

Smartwater

Glaceau Smartwater is a brand of bottled water owned by Energy Brands. Introduced in 1996 in the United States, by 2016 it was one of the top 5 brands of bottled water in the States. Last year, smartwater — in partnership with comedian, writer, actor and producer Pete Davidson — helped America hit refresh after the 4th Of July holiday weekend with the first-ever Rehydration Day, a day dedicated to getting the nation back on its feet, rehydrated, replenished and ready to drink in the rest of the summer. This included events at Brooklyn’s Domino Park and Los Angeles’ Santa Monica Pier, where smartwater debuted smartwater-filled kegs, or “smartkegs.” One of these kegs currently sits in my kitchen, awaiting post-Rehydration Day enjoyment.

Well, your friends at smartwater aim to help everyday people rehydrate to jump start 2022 right. They kindly sent me a smartkeg — a mini keg of smartwater to motivate all my hydration needs — which was about a foot and half tall and half a foot wide. It fits easily in my kitchen, even in my fridge. Thus, hydrating like a boss this week has been a bit easier.

Lakrids by Bülow

On 07.07.07, the first Lakrids by Johan Bülow shop opened in Svaneke. The idea was to cook the licorice in the shop, making sure that you could smell it within a radius of 100 meters.
