The Whisky Cubes Pack is the perfect gift for any lover of whisky. Not only does the pack contain a book informing the whisky-lover about hundreds of whisky brands and distillers in Britain, Ireland and North America, there is a guide to the process of distillation and tasting notes. In addition to this, the pack contains eight soapstone cubes which can be placed in a freezer and dropped into a glass and used as a replacement for ice, one that doesn't dilute the golden liquid.
The author, Jim Murray, is one of the most respected men in whisky, on both sides of the Atlantic and his passionate views about Scotch, Irish, Rye and Bourbon are respected by those in the know. He writes in a unique style, with his passion coming through as he explains why a distillery is different to its neighbour maybe only a few miles away and showing how a slight variation in the distillation and/or storage process makes for an entirely different tasting experience. If you are already a connoisseur of whisky, want to become one, or just enjoy the occasional tipple, The Whisky Cubes Pack is as welcome as your favourite dram.
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.
