Описание: Whether as wine, beer, or spirits, alcohol has had a constant and often controversial role in social life. In his innovative book on the attitudes toward and consumption of alcohol, Rod Phillips surveys a 9,000-year cultural and economic history, uncovering the tensions between alcoholic drinks as healthy staples of daily diets and as objects of social, political, and religious anxiety. In the urban centers of Europe and America, where it was seen as healthier than untreated water, alcohol gained a foothold as the drink of choice, but it has been more regulated by governmental and religious authorities more than any other commodity. As a potential source of social disruption, alcohol created volatile boundaries of acceptable and unacceptable consumption and broke through barriers of class, race, and gender.
Phillips follows the ever-changing cultural meanings of these potent potables and makes the surprising argument that some societies have entered ""post-alcohol"" phases. His is the first book to examine and explain the meanings and effects of alcohol in such depth, from global and long-term perspectives.

Dancing Somm is a unique composition of intellectual property on how to create wine and food pairings that will knock it out of the park every time, including recipes and the explanation as to why and how they work in harmony. It is also the story of a forty year journey of passion and history of the incredible California wine pioneers who I have had the great fortune of working with and for, including Robert Mondavi, Peter Mondavi, Francis Ford Coppola, Christian Moueix, Eileen Crane, Jack Davies, Charlie and Chuck Wagner, John and Doug Shafer, Donald Hess, Merry Edwards, Tony and John Terlato, Gil Nickel, Robert Sinskey, Ray Signorello, Sandra McKeiver, Joe Heitz, Ramona Nicholson, Mike Benziger, Jeff Kunde, Bruce Cohn, Tom Mazzocco, Marimar Torres, Sam Sebastiani, Jess Jackson, Bill and Will Phelps.
Over my years in the wine industry, I have taken to heart the wisdom and knowledge that these dynamic wine visionaries have imparted to me as mentors. Within these pages are behind the scenes previously untold stories, inspirations, humorous anecdotes and proprietary intellectual property that I have developed since becoming a Wine Educator and Sommelier since 1982.
In turn, I have been delighted to play to thousands of audiences, with my passionate, driving quest to engage, entertain and enlighten, by sharing these insights and observations with a little twisted, smart-ass sense of humor. This has been my life's mission. In so doing, I have come to meet people from all walks of life-Rock Stars, comedians, Movie Stars, celebrity chefs, politicians and major professional sports figures. All because of wine. Wine brings us together to share inspired conversations, learn of new gastronomic delights, creates new friendships and strengthen human bonds like no other libation. After all, it is a beverage of pleasure
This is a book about wine and food pairings, drilling down on the "how tos" and "whys" with compelling recipes. Dancing Somm is also about the Golden Years of the California Wine Industry, famous people, anecdotes, and a very lucky guy, who has had the great fortune to be the Napa and Sonoma Wine Sherpa, guiding wine enthusiasts for 4 decades through new wine ventures, livin' le reve, living the dream as the Dancing Sommelier.

In deepening our understanding of the symposium in ancient Greece, this book embodies the wit and play of the images it explains: those decorating Athenian drinking vessels from the sixth and fifth centuries B.C. The vases used at banquets often depict the actual drinkers who commissioned their production and convey the flowing together of wine, poetry, music, games, flirtation, and other elements that formed the complex structure of the banquet itself. A close reading of the objects handled by drinkers in the images reveals various metaphors, particularly that of wine as sea, all expressing a wide range of attitudes toward an ambiguous substance that brings cheer but may also cause harm.
Not only does this work offer an anthropological view of ancient Greece, but it explores a precise iconographic system. In so doing it will encourage and enrich further reflection on the role of the image in a given culture. Originally published in 1990. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
Описание: How to make beer, wine, liqueurs, hard cider and moonshine whiskey
The author dusts off over thirty years of experience brewing beer and making wine to tell you how it's done. He not only tells how to make darned near any kind of alcoholic beverage you can imagine, he also tells you how to make the equipment to do it with.
Ever wondered how a still is made? There are eight types illustrated in this book, based on historical moonshiner designs. The ingenuity that went into making moonshine illicitly is fascinating and sometimes hilarious. Though it's illegal to build or possess a still, the illustrations are so complete, you could easily do it Some are built with components found in most home kitchens.
From homebrew beer, homemade wine and liqueur recipes, to stills, homemade cappers, kegs, scales and even a malt factory from an old freezer, it's all here
Easy to read and humorous, this book entertains you with Alaskan tales and bootlegger's lore while you learn the craft of home brewing. Brew hot-pepper beers and delicate blossom wines Learn to make horse turd whiskey and bathtub gin If you could buy only one "make your own" brewing book for the rest of your life, this is it.
It's like getting a whole shelf of homebrewing and wine making books for the price of one
