Winner of the Fortnum and Mason Best Debut Drink Book Award 2017
From renowned booze correspondent Henry Jeffreys comes this rich
and full-bodied history of Britain and the Empire, told through the
improbable but true stories of how the world's favourite alcoholic
drinks came to be. Read about how we owe the champagne we drink
today to seventeenth-century methods for making sparkling cider;
how madeira and India Pale Ale became legendary for their ability
to withstand the long, hot journeys to Britain's burgeoning
overseas territories; and why whisky became the familiar choice for
weary empire builders who longed for home. Jeffreys traces the
impact of alcohol on British culture and society: literature,
science, philosophy and even religion have reflections in the
bottom of a glass. Filled to the brim with fascinating trivia and
recommendations for how to enjoy these drinks today, you could even
drink along as you read... So, raise your glass to the Empire of
Booze!
