Inspired by Jules Verne's classic adventure tale, celebrated
editor-in-chief of The Wine Economist Mike Veseth takes his readers
Around the World in Eighty Wines. The journey starts in London,
Phileas Fogg's home base, and follows Fogg's itinerary to France
and Italy before veering off in search of compelling wine stories
in Syria, Georgia, and Lebanon. Every glass of wine tells a story,
and so each of the eighty wines must tell an important tale. We
head back across Northern Africa to Algeria, once the world's
leading wine exporter, before hopping across the sea to Spain and
Portugal. We follow Portuguese trade routes to Madeira and then
South Africa with a short detour to taste Kenya's most famous Pinot
Noir. Kenya? Pinot Noir? Really! The route loops around, visiting
Bali, Thailand, and India before heading north to China to visit
Shangri-La. Shangri-La? Does that even exist? It does, and there is
wine there. Then it is off to Australia, with a detour in Tasmania,
which is so cool that it is hot. The stars of the Southern Cross
(and the title of a familiar song) guide us to New Zealand, Chile,
and Argentina. We ride a wine train in California and rendezvous
with Planet Riesling in Seattle before getting into fast cars for a
race across North America, collecting more wine as we go. Pause for
lunch in Virginia to honor Thomas Jefferson, then it's time to jet
back to London to tally our wines and see what we have learned. Why
these particular places? What are the eighty wines and what do they
reveal? And what is the surprise plot twist that guarantees a happy
ending for every wine lover? Come with us on a journey of discovery
that will inspire, inform, and entertain anyone who loves travel,
adventure, or wine.

What do you drink when you're not drinking? Seedlip - the first
distilled non-alcoholic spirit - was created to solve this problem
and launched to huge excitement. Here, for the first time, was a
grown-up non-alcoholic alternative that balanced crisp, delicious
flavours and healthy, natural ingredients. Here, finally, was a way
to drink when you weren't drinking. This recipe book offers an
exclusive collection of Seedlip's finest cocktails as well as
insight into their ethos, technique and ingredients. Highly
illustrated with recipes from the world's best bartenders and newly
commissioned images from leading drinks photographer Rob Lawson,
here are the secrets of the Seedlip way.
During the past eight decades French vineyards, wineries, and wine
marketing efforts have undergone such profound changes--from
technological, scientific, economic, and commercial
standpoints--that the transformation is revolutionary for an
industry dating back thousands of years. Here Leo Loubre examines
how the modernization of Western society has brought about new
conditions in well-established markets, making the introduction of
novel techniques and processes a matter of survival for
winegrowers. Not only does Loubre explain how altered environmental
conditions have enabled pioneering enologists to create styles of
wine more suited to contemporary tastes and living arrangements,
but he also discusses the social impact of the wine revolution on
the employees in the industry. The third generation of this new
viticultural regime has encountered working and living conditions
drastically different from those of its predecessors, while
witnessing the near disappearance of the working class and the
decline of small and medium growers of ordinary wines. Originally
published in 1990. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.

The contents of your pint glass have a much richer history than you
could have imagined. Through the story of the hop, Hoptopia
connects twenty-first century beer drinkers to lands and histories
that have been forgotten in an era of industrial food production.
The craft beer revolution of the late twentieth century is a
remarkable global history that converged in the agricultural
landscapes of Oregon's Willamette Valley. The common hop, a plant
native to Eurasia, arrived to the Pacific Northwest only in the
nineteenth century, but has thrived within the region's
environmental conditions so much that by the first half of the
twentieth century, the Willamette Valley claimed the title "Hop
Center of the World." Hoptopia integrates an interdisciplinary
history of environment, culture, economy, labor, and science
through the story of the most indispensible ingredient in beer.
Since The Compleat Meadmaker was first published, mead has
continued to grow in popularity as crafted beverages have become an
established part of the beverage market in America. In 2003 there
were roughly 60 commercial meaderies in the US, but by 2020 this
number stood at 450. Naturally, many hobbyists are also discovering
the delights of making this "nectar of the gods" themselves. Thanks
to the global distribution of bees and, therefore, honey, you will
find mead-like drinks in virtually every corner of the world. No
wonder historians recognize it as one of humankind's oldest
fermented beverages. Mead production never really ceased in Europe
and Africa, but its star was eclipsed with the increasing
production and distribution of wine, beer, and distilled spirits
from the 1600s onward. With the rebirth of brewing and the
establishment of world-class wine producing regions in the US, it
is time for mead in the twenty-first century to be brought back
into the limelight. Mead needs to establish a vocabulary of its own
and find a place in the hearts of homebrewers and home winemakers.
In The Compleat Meadmaker, veteran meadmaker Ken Schramm-one of the
founders of the Mazer Cup Mead Competition, North America's oldest
mead-only competition-introduces the novice to the wonders of mead.
With easy-to-follow procedures and simple recipes, he shows how you
can quickly and painlessly make your own mead at home. In later
chapters, Schramm introduces flavorful variations on the basic
theme that lead to meads flavored with spice, fruits, grapes, and
malt. The author covers the many aspects of meadmaking in a
comprehensive but easy-to-read fashion, with something for novices
and experienced brewers and vintners alike from basic equipment for
meadmaking, creating your first must, and on through the basics of
fermentation, racking, and bottling. Once the first steps have been
taken Schramm goes into more detail, involving balancing for taste
using acid, priming for sparkling mead, corking practices, and
strategies for clarifying. He also covers aspects of fermentation,
such as selecting the right yeast strain, aerating and managing the
pH of your must during the critical early phase of fermentation,
and adjusting nutrient levels to suit mead fermentation. The author
also troubleshoots common problems and processes, such as stuck
fermentations, fermentations that will not start, slow or prolonged
fermentations, measuring total acidity via acid titrations, and on
balancing residual sugars through sweetening, malo-lactic
fermentation, increasing acidity, and drying out the mead further.
The fine-tuning process does not stop after fermentation is
finished. Perhaps the finest characteristic of mead is that it
seems to improve with age almost indefinitely. As well as advice on
how long to store it, Schramm also offers up his experience with
the many different approaches to conditioning and maturing mead,
focusing on the use of oak chips, blocks, and barrels to age mead
on wood. As one of the oldest fermented drinks and using the oldest
sweetener known to humankind, mead and honey are inextricable.
Schramm delves into a brief natural history of honey production and
the bees that make it possible, with fascinating insights into the
profession of beekeepers. He explores sources of nectar and pollen
and the benefits of honey varietals explored, with a section
devoted entirely to varietal honey based on floral variety. Along
the way Schramm delves into the concept of honey "vintage", grades
of honey, sugar, moisture, organic acids, mineral content, color
terminology, and how you should not judge a honey's flavor by its
color. There is also a discussion of aroma compounds, absolutely
essential if wishing to understand the organoleptic qualities of
honey. While mead can be a charmingly simple drink to make, home
meadmakers can easily indulge in a host of different flavors to
make unique and delicious meads. The author provides you with an
understanding of the role quality ingredients play in creating a
really pleasing mead. There are several ingredients-focused
chapters that look at making sack mead, melomel, cyser, pyment,
hippocras, metheglin, and braggot. At the end, Schramm puts it all
together in a section devoted entirely to recipes. As one of the
most ancient of human beverages, mead arose in part because it was
easy to make. Despite this, mead is a surprisingly complex,
diverse, and romantic drink that can range from bone dry to
profoundly sweet, and can be crafted to complement any type of
food. With The Compleat Meadmaker, you can see just how simple,
fun, and rewarding meadmaking is.
Paul has a great fondness for beer and a wealth of knowledge about
it. He has spent considerable time developing recipes in which beer
plays a significant role, not as a gimmick, but as an essential
flavouring. His recipes display a depth of knowledge about the
flavours and qualities of various beers and the dishes that they
best complement. The 80-plus recipes include both bold and subtle
dishes, from traditional beer-based favourites such as Lamb Shanks
in Guinness, to variations on classics, such as Beer-Braised Beef
Osso Bucco, to those that use beer in unexpected but wholly
delicious ways, such as Birramisu and Sticky Date Pudding.
In these fascinating interviews, winemakers from the United States
and abroad clarify the complex process of converting grapes into
wine, with more than forty vintners candidly discussing how a
combination of talent, passion, and experience shape the outcome of
their individual wines. Each winemaker details their personal
approach to the various steps required to convert grapes into wine.
Natalie Berkowitz speaks to winemakers from different backgrounds
who work in diverse wine-producing regions, including Chile,
England, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Portugal,
Slovenia, Spain, and the United States. They talk about familiar
and unfamiliar grape varietals, their struggles with local
terroirs, and the vagaries of Mother Nature. Some represent small
family wineries with limited production while others work for
corporations producing hundreds of thousands of bottles. Each
individual offers rare insight into how new technologies are
revolutionizing historic winemaking practices. The interviews are
supplemented with personal recipes and maps of winemaking regions.
An aroma wheel captures the vast array of wine's complex flavors
and aromas.
