The book features profiles on all the must-know producers, from industry giants like Patron and Josâe Cuervo to innovators like G4 and Cascahuâin. Informative essays shine light on hot topics that will bring readers' expertise to new levels, including the terroir of tequila and why so many celebrities are starting tequila brands.

WINNER OF GUILD OF FOOD WRITERS AWARD 2023: DRINKS CATEGORYLonglisted for the André Simon Award for Drink Books for 2022Real cider, craft cider, farm cider, artisan cider: Whatever you wish to call it, at its best, cider is made and should be enjoyed like a fine wine, with all of the sophistication but less of the pretentiousness. Just as there are many volumes devoted to the great wine regions of the world, we now need a 'cider appreciation' manual to fully understand and delve into the rich culture of cider and perry. Cider Planet is that book and Claude Jolicoeur is our expert guide. In Cider Planet, Claude Jolicoeur - a cider expert, a passionate cider maker, and author of the internationally-acclaimed New Cider Maker's Handbook - takes readers to the world's greatest cider regions, providing a guided tour and a deep understanding and appreciation for how this 'Prince of Beverages' is made. Describing orchard practices and specific apple varieties used in different countries, he reveals the long and proud history of the world's oldest ciderlands. He also profiles different cider styles and rituals and learns from some of the most knowledgeable producers and local cider experts in each country. Cider, though, is no longer just a traditional European drink. In recent years it has caught on in other parts of the globe and Jolicoeur talks about these new and emerging regions, which are building upon the old traditions and creating new ones of their own. Jolicoeur also explores the most revered areas for making pear cider or 'perry', and he even transports readers to Kazakhstan, famous as the 'birthplace of the domestic apple'.

De seneste års hype har givet rosé både anerkendelse og popstatus. Vinen favner bredt – fra jetsetteren i St. Tropez, over vinnørden og den mere almindelige vinforbruger, til den anerkendte vinproducent.Bogen Rosé Revolution af Rasmus Emborg og Jens Honoré rammer således en bølge af popularitet, udbredelse og stigende anerkendelse, som ser ud til at fortsætte i de kommende år.Men det er ikke bare en bog om vin. Historien om rosé er en del af en større historie, der rammer en række af tidens megatrends som sundhed, økologi samt nogle mere eksistentielle værdier. Rosé er en markør for det gode liv – sådan som det blandt andet leves i Provence, rosévinens moderland, der med sine knastørre vine i dag sætter standarden for roséer over hele verden. Vinen er inkluderende, usnobbet og lige til at gå til – og det tiltaler dem, som jagter kvalitet og gode oplevelser, men som ikke gider at lave slubre-lyde eller snakke om terroir. Ligesom vinen er bogen usnobbet og inkluderende. Den er drevet af personlige fortællinger og gennemsyret af den lidenskab, som driver de toneangivende producenter og i stigende grad tiltrækker forbrugerne.Bogen fortæller dig ikke, hvilken vin du skal drikke. Men den gør dig klogere på, hvad du drikker, og hvem der står bag. Og så kan den forhåbentligt bidrage til, at du får en endnu bedre oplevelse, når du næste gang åbner en flaske rosé – og måske også give dig lyst til at besøge de steder, hvor roséen bliver produceret.

Thomas Cilius mener, at der vil altid være en passende lejlighed til at lade korkproppen springe – det være sig som en drink i haven en almindelig hverdag eller til en fest, hvor flaskehalsen måske ovenikøbet kappes af med et sværd.De boblende vine produceres over hele verden og findes i et væld af varianter – champagne, cremant, cava, prosecco, sekt, sparkling wine osv. Hvert land har sine regioner og vinlove, der dikterer rammerne for produktionen. Og for forbrugeren er rammerne vide og byder på et sortiment, der spænder fra de mere ydmyge typer til topsofistikerede champagner. Bogen serverer den nødvendige viden om de delikate dråber: historien, fremstillingen og de mange typer af mousserende vin, og hvordan de adskiller sig fra hinanden. Den fortæller om druer, produktionsmetoder, regioner - og om hvordan man yder boblerne den største respekt, når det gælder glas, udstyr, servering og mad. Hvad går til hvad – og hvorfor? Desuden er der forslag til delikate champagnecocktail.

Strong, Sweet and Bitter is the debut cocktail recipe book by hostess of popular YouTube series Behind the Bar, Cara Devine. Using the Flavor Triangle (strong, sweet and bitter or sour flavors) as the basis, this book shows you how to master the fundamentals of flavor and craft a drink from anything available on hand.   Drawing upon her expertise as cocktail bar Bomba’s manager, Devine explores the different ingredients and techniques required to craft anything from classic cocktails to their lesser-known but equally delicious counterparts. Anyone from those who haven’t ever made a cocktail before to the most experienced of bartenders can start off by learning to make a base from scratch (or finding out which to pick from the store), what equipment is required to make cocktails, which ingredients marry well together, the science behind cocktails and how certain cocktails came to be throughout history to craft the perfect drink. The book then splits into types of cocktails, rather than spirit, to match your mood and introduce you to drinks based on your preference.   Looking for something short and boozy? Or craving something citrus-y and fresh? You might just discover a cocktail you like using a spirit you never thought you’d enjoy all based on your mood or preference. The book also explores how to be a great host and contains breakout boxes filled with little facts and tidbits for hosts to share with their guests.   This is the ideal, most comprehensive foray into cocktail making for anyone looking to learn the ins and outs of being behind the bar.

The story of the visionary young widow who built a champagne empire, showed the world how to live with style, and emerged a legendVeuve Clicquot champagne epitomizes glamour, style, and luxury. But who was this young widow?the Veuve Clicquot?whose champagne sparkled at the courts of France, Britain, and Russia, and how did she rise to celebrity and fortune?In The Widow Clicquot, Tilar J. Mazzeo brings to life?for the first time?the fascinating woman behind the iconic yellow label: Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin. A young witness to the dramatic events of the French Revolution and a new widow during the chaotic years of the Napoleonic Wars, Barbe-Nicole defied convention by assuming?after her husband's death?the reins of the fledgling wine business they had nurtured. Steering the company through dizzying political and financial reversals, she became one of the world's first great businesswomen and one of the richest women of her time. Although the Widow Clicquot is still a legend in her native France, her story has never been told in all its richness?until now. Painstakingly researched and elegantly written, The Widow Clicquot provides a glimpse into the life of a woman who arranged clandestine and perilous champagne deliveries to Russia one day and entertained Napoléon and Joséphine Bonaparte on another. She was a daring and determined entrepreneur, a bold risk taker, and an audacious and intelligent woman who took control of her own destiny when fate left her on the brink of financial ruin. Her legacy lives on today, not simply through the famous product that still bears her name, but now through Mazzeo's finely crafted book. As much a fascinating journey through the process of making this temperamental wine as a biography of a uniquely tempered woman, The Widow Clicquot is utterly intoxicating.

New York Times Bestseller * Soon to be a TV series starring Dan Aykroyd"There aren't many books this entertaining that also provide a cogent crash course in ancient, classical and modern history." -Los Angeles Times Beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and Coca-Cola: In Tom Standage's deft, innovative account of world history, these six beverages turn out to be much more than just ways to quench thirst.

Gården er en fortælling om at udskifte parcelhuslivet med en tilværelse på landet – en tilværelse, der kom til at indebære store mængder af linolie, renoveringsarbejde og produktionen af naturvin. Forfatteren skildrer i denne erindringsbog, hvordan hun i 1990’erne forelskede sig i en gammel gård i Nordsjælland. Hun faldt så meget for stedet, at hun udskiftede det trygge parcelhus tæt på jobbet i København med livet i landsbyen. I bogen beretter hun om, hvordan gården blev sat i stand ved hjælp traditionelle metoder og materialer, der respekterede gårdens oprindelse, og de mange op- og nedture, der kan være i en sådan proces. Hun fortæller også om, hvordan hun kom i gang med at producere naturvin som en af de første i Danmark.Det er en beretning om at vælge et langsommere liv i tæt kontakt med naturen. Fortælleren drives af nostalgi og en romantisk tilgang til landsbylivet, hvilket smitter af på sproget. Tempoet er langsomt, og vi dykker ned i detaljer med renovering, linoliemaling og lampeskærme fra 50’erne. Fortællingen har en rustik charme, og langsommeligheden afspejler den livsstil, der skildres i bogen.Bogen henvender sig til samme publikum, der ser ”Bonderøven”, bager med egen surdej og fifler lidt med hjemmebryg. Forfatteren er meget vidende om de emner, hun beskæftiger med, og man bliver som læser klogere – og nysgerrig – på både nænsom restaurering, landbrugshistorie og dansk vinavl. Det er en fortælling, der henvender sig til alle, der nogle gange synes, at det moderne liv er for stresset, og som værdsætter bondegårdsferierne, hvor man lærer, hvor vores fødevarer virkelig kommer fra.
