Italian Wines is the English-language version of Gambero Rosso's
Vini d'Italia, the world's best-selling guide to Italian wine. It
is the result of a year's work by over 60 tasters, coordinated by
three curators. They travel around the entire country to taste
45,000 wines, only half of which make it into the guide. More than
2,500 producers have been selected. Each entry brings together
useful information about the winery, including a description of its
most important labels and price levels in Italian wine shops. Each
wine is evaluated according to the Gambero Rosso bicchieri rating,
with Tre Bicchieri awarded to the top labels. The guide is an
essential tool for both wine professionals and passionate amateurs
around the globe: it provides the instruments for finding one's way
in the complex panorama of Italy's wine world.
Whilst Wine Marketing: a practical guide also looks at theory and
existing research, the main focus of this book is on the
practicalities of wine marketing. Each chapter includes the
following invaluable features: * 'How to' and 'how not to' case
studies based on international examples * A guide to further
reading and websites * 'Issues to consider when marketing' section
as a means of self-evaluation 'Wine Marketing' systematically
outlines the major issues involved in the production and marketing
of wine. Its accessible and clear-sighted approach makes it an
invaluable guide for everyone in the field.
An introductory survey of the industry's history precedes the
dictionary proper--articles arranged in alphabetical order which
describe virtually every facet of the industry. Institutions,
personalities, legislation, terminology, histories of breweries and
distillers, and more. Twelve appendixes enhance the book's
usefulness.

cellar doors situated across the many wine regions in Australia,

in their approach to their design visions, and serve to inform and
illustrate the exciting new direction in Australian winery
architecture. This book delves into how each wine destination and
wine-tasting experience has been enhanced, where winemakers,
owners, architects and designers provide personal insights,
perspectives and individual stories. Find out what inspired their
designs and how they worked together to create and celebrate the
collaboration of wine and design.

The story behind Faygo, a Detroit soft drink company since 1907.
The Faygo Book is the social history of a company that has forged a
bond with a city and its residents for more than a century. The
story of Faygo, Detroit's beloved soda pop, begins over a hundred
years ago with two Russian immigrant brothers who were looking to
get out of the baking business. Starting with little more than
pots, pails, hoses, and a one-horse wagon, Ben and Perry Feigenson
reformulated cake frosting recipes into carbonated beverage recipes
and launched their business in the middle of the 1907 global
financial meltdown. It was an improbable idea. Through recessions
and the Great Depression, wartime politics, the rise and fall of
Detroit's population, and the neverending challenges to the
industry, the Feigensons persisted. Out of more than forty bottlers
in Detroit's ""pop alley,"" Faygo remained the last one standing.
Within the pages of The Faygo Book, author Joe Grimm carefully
measures out the ingredients of a successful beverage company in
spite of dicey economic times in a boom-and-bust town. Take a large
cup of family-when the second generation of Feigensons gambled with
the chance at national distribution while the odds were stacked
against them-and add a pinch of innovation-not just with their
rambunctious rainbow of flavors but with packaging and television
advertising that infused Faygo with nostalgia. Mix in a quality
product-award-winning classics (and some flops) that they insisted
on calling ""pop"" despite the industry's plea for a more grown-up
name. Stir in a splash of loyalty to its locally hired employees,
many of whom would stay withFaygo for decades. These are the values
on which Faygo has hung its hat for generations, making it an
integral part of communities across the country. The Faygo Book is
the story of a pop, a people, and a place. These stories and facts
will tickle the taste buds and memories of Detroiters and Faygo
lovers everywhere.

The author and the illustrator behind the best-selling
Necronomnomnom have summoned another glorious grimoire-this time

Root Beer of All Evil, and the Bloodbath & Beyond. The book
provides "Virgin Sacrifices" for the coachman designated to drive
everyone back from the seance, or for anyone not wanting to imbibe
the devil's water. There are 75 delicious and malicious recipes,
each gorgeously illustrated, mercilessly tested and hilariously
written. Recipes appear in the form of cryptic rhymes and arcane
rituals but are always easy (and fun) to follow. Bibulous and
ridiculous, Lovecraft Cocktails will bring delight and fright for
Halloween, the holidays and beyond.
