Originally published in 1639 The Distiller of London provides readers with an understanding of the evolution that distilling went through as it made its transformation in the sixteenth- and seventeenth-centuries from a medicine to a social beverage. And it offers a brief tour of Stuart-era taste preferences.Although there were other books printed in England even earlier than the seventeenth-century that included juniper in recipes, this particular volume is of scholarly interest because it not only contained a few such recipes, but because it was published by the Worshipful Company of Distillers of London, the regulatory body that oversaw the emerging distilling trade before William and Mary ascended the English throne in 1688 and before the eighteenth-century Gin Craze brought illegitimate distillers and compounders before the public eye, soiling the budding industry's reputation for nearly a century.Written in code to protect its 'mysteries' from a curious lay readership, Miller and Brown have deciphered the recipes and provided a historical overview so that the present and future generations of distillers and rectifiers can find inspiration for their own creations and lay readers can capture a glimpse into this fascinating profession that continues to grow and evolve today.

France remains one of the world's leading wine producers by volume and enjoys unrivaled cultural recognition for its wine. If any wine regions are global household names, they are French regions such as Champagne, Bordeaux, and Burgundy. Within the wine world, products from French regions are still benchmarks for many wines.

Rod Phillips places the history of grape growing and winemaking in each of the country's major regions within broad historical and cultural contexts.

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.
