"A fascinating book that belongs on every wine lover's bookshelf."-The Wine Economist "It's a book to read for its unstoppable torrent of fascinating and often surprising details."-Andrew Jefford, Decanter For centuries, wine has been associated with France more than with any other country. France remains one of the world's leading wine producers by volume and enjoys unrivaled cultural recognition for its wine. If any wine regions are global household names, they are French regions such as Champagne, Bordeaux, and Burgundy. Within the wine world, products from French regions are still benchmarks for many wines. French Wine is the first synthetic history of wine in France: from Etruscan, Greek, and Roman imports and the adoption of wine by beer-drinking Gauls to its present status within the global marketplace. Rod Phillips places the history of grape growing and winemaking in each of the country's major regions within broad historical and cultural contexts. Examining a range of influences on the wine industry, wine trade, and wine itself, the book explores religion, economics, politics, revolution, and war, as well as climate and vine diseases. French Wine is the essential reference on French wine for collectors, consumers, sommeliers, and industry professionals.

Three different spellings (rum, rhum, ron) for just one spirit: the one which comes from the Caribbean and the first American colonies of the seventeenth century. This book will lead you to discover this extraordinary spirit obtained from the distillation of cane sugar (agricultural) or molasses (industrial), introducing you to the history, production methods, and different styles (Spanish, British, Jamaican, French) existing today. In fact, there are very many types of rum, which differ in fermentation times, distillation equipment used, and aging: it is a varied world that this guide will help you to know and to understand. The most recognized rums sold today will be illustrated in 40 profiles, tracing their characteristics and describing their taste and colour. For each of them, a cocktail recipe will be proposed showing its ideal use. Furthermore, the final section will suggest a selection of classical or innovative cocktails based on rum and will give you all the information necessary to prepare them easily. This is also thanks to splendid photographs by Fabio Petroni, a master of the still-life genre.

Winner of the Guild of Food Writers General Cookbook Award 2019 'I get fed up with the number of cookbooks that promise quick and easy meals, those that promise a three-course dinner that can be knocked up in thirty minutes. Most cooking, and certainly most enjoyable cooking, takes a little longer. I can knock something up in a hurry if I have to - there are plenty of quick and easy recipes in this book - but that ability was a long time in the acquisition, and I still prefer to take my time, in order to do it better than I did it last time.' These recipes and essays, first published in the Financial Times, are a distillation of Rowley Leigh's forty years as both a professional chef and a home cook. They detail with precision and wit how to cook and enjoy both unusual and familiar ingredients through the seasons. With Leigh's succinct wine recommendations and over 120 recipes, this is a book to get messy with overuse in the kitchen and to pore over in an armchair with a glass of the author's beloved Riesling close to hand.
