### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Entertaining and Offbeat book
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2007*

My husband is a wine writer for our local newspaper so I purchased this book for him.  He liked the book so much that he did a side-bar to his last article with the following review:More than just a book about wine this is "a collection of useful and useless information as it relates to the history and consumption of all manner of booze." There is a remarkable amount of information packed into this entertaining and offbeat book. You're likely to find yourself reading it two or three times because it is impossible to remember all the frivolous and factual trivia Lender offers up. For example, an Italian café owner created the beverage Compari in 1860 but it became wildly popular in the U.S. during Prohibition where it was considered a digestive bitter, not alcohol. It just happened to be 48 proof.

    Interesting AND informative. Wow...
  

*by 0***8 on Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2008*

Most books in this category are well, boring. They go into history and process, and science, with the kind of zeal and skill as a second grade teacher who just had a huge paycut and has been off cigarettes for two weeks...but this book is totally different. It's progression is organized but witty. It lists the funny stuff that no one else will tell you and yet you'll still learn the science and history and process behind varying alcohol. Just like it starts out...all Alcohol is basically yeast poop. Champagne has a psi of 90 (or 3x your car tire) and was called devil wine by the monks who were injured by the exploding bottles. See now that's interesting!

    A must-read!
  

*by T***M on Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2006*

Lendler has crafted a simple yet engaging book on the history and peculiarities of just about every alcohol type we know -- he peppers his succinct and interesting descriptions of the beverages' histories with a rapier wit in a conversation-like tone (e.g. he writes out the word "Natch" in place of "Naturally").  It is a fun book to read.This is a must-read for anyone with a passing interest in any particular genre of alcohol, or for anyone who just enjoys good reading.
