Drink

Drink is a rip-roaring, entertaining journey through the wonderful world of drink--how to choose it (tough) and how to use it (not so tough). The text uses witty, straight-talking language to guide readers through the many styles of wines, beers, and spirits--from Bud Lite to German lagers, from inexpensive spirits to aged Cognac, from White Zinfandel to the best Cabernet Sauvignons. It explains what styles are available, where they're produced, and what they taste like. Unique "flavor trees" guide readers between similar tasting red wines, white wines, sparkling wines, sweet and fortified wines, lagers, beers and spirits. And wine style charts show at-a-glance where the key styles of wine are produced, what grapes they include, and whether they offer value for money. Cocktail recipes, food pairing suggestions, and party ideas complete this invaluable guide.
