Winner of the Fortnum and Mason Best Debut Drink Book Award 2017From 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.

Without Britain, none of the world's favourite wines would exist. Neither would champagne, port, rum or whisky. Not even beer. How did one small nation come to exert such a lasting influence on the world of booze?

Empire of Booze is a loose history of Britain, cleverly and humorously told through its contributions to alcohol, charting the rise of British power from its small corner of Europe to global pre-eminence. Each chapter features a historical period and a drink – tracing its origins and examining its impact on British culture, literature, science, philosophy and religion. Learn about how...

...the champagne we drink today is owed to British technology for making sparkling wine.

...rum and India Pale Ale were developed so they could withstand the long, hot journeys to Britain's burgeoning overseas empire.

...whisky became the drink of choice for weary empire builders far from home.

...without alcohol, the pre-twentieth century global economy could not function.

With drink recommendations offered throughout, you can booze while you read along. So raise a glass to Britain, the Empire of Booze, whose alcoholic innovations are some of its greatest, lasting gifts to the world.

Recenzijas

"Entertaining . . . [ Jeffreys] clearly knows his booze." * Guardian * "Charming . . . Never mind books about drink a book you can drink, now thats a Christmas gift." * Spectator * "Well argued and full of fascinating booze-related facts . . . it's an ambitious undertaking, but [ Jeffreys] achieves it with a sharp eye and an understated humorous touch I rather liked." * Daily Mail * "Fascinating pub trivia . . . Henry Jeffreys is a wine columnist and drinks writer who clearly knows his stuff" * Mail on Sunday * "Henry Jeffreys is everything you want a wine writer to be: funny, knowing, unpretentious but also un-blokeish, funny, clever, refreshing, original, funny and inquisitive. And did I say funny?" -- Craig Brown, author and parodist
