The South Beach Wine and Food Festival wrapped up Sunday following four days of food- and drink-laden events. Spirit brands had a large presence at the festival this year, sponsoring the big name events like Burger Bash (presented by Amstel Light) and BubbleQ (sponsored by Perrier-Jouët Champagne) as well as late-night parties from the Patrón Spirits Company and Hornitos Tequila. Here's a look inside the parties.
