Download or read book The Wordsworth Dictionary of Drink written by Ned Halley and published by Wordsworth Editions. This book was released on 2005 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is a slack-ma-girdle? Or a submarino? How did White Horse whisky get its name? Or Old Bawdy barley wine? How do you make a really dry martini? Or beer? Or champagne? The answers to these enquiries and thousands of others are revealed in this unique guide to every kind of alcohol, compiled by dedicated drinker and collector of little histories, Ned Halley, who is an award-winning writer on beer, a nationally syndicated wine columnist and author of numerous books on drink. In a straightforward A to Z format, 'The Wordsworth Dictionary of Drink' identifies thousands of individual brewers, distillers and winemakers, as well as the names of their products. The dictionary aims to be of real, practical help in locating beers and ciders, wines and spirits of every hue to their maker and place of origin. Here, too, are descriptive terms used on labels, along with the less-formal words used by producers and purveyors to promote their products in the market place. Origins, from village breweries to entire wine-producing regions, are located by nation, province and district. In many cases, there is a mention of when a producer or product was established, perhaps a word about the founder or a brief explanation of a curious-sounding brand name. The book is laced with historical anecdotes, a thousand cocktail recipes, essays on topics from the Guiness dynasty to the principles of brewing, from the discovery of distilling to the history of excise duty - and illustrated with hundreds of drink labels from all around the world.

Book excerpt: Wine has become an important part of North American mealtimes; it provides one of the most enjoyable partners to any dish. The consumption of wine has increased dramatically -- and so has interest in the history and creation of wine. Unlike that of many other drinks, the flavor of wine is determined by hundreds of different factors often having nothing to do with the winegrower's influence.Dictionary of Wine provides a comprehensive guide to the specialist terms used in growing, producing and tasting wine. It covers the basic concepts -- from the different types of grapes, regions and methods of growing vines -- right through to the finished product. Many other wine guides provide descriptions of vintages and sources of wine; Dictionary of Wine also covers the terms used in making and tasting wine.Each entry is written in the encyclopedic style of other Fitzroy Dearborn dictionaries -- PC and the Internet, Astronomy, Law, etc.; the definitions are clear and concise, comprehensible even to beginners. The text is fully illustrated with line drawings and maps.

Download or read book The Definitive Drink Dictionary written by Walter Hoving and published by . This book was released on 2007-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication contains over 6000 drink concoctions collected in over five hundred cities, towns, little hamlets and many villages in over fifty countries and all of the fifty states. That is almost three times the number of recipes in any other drink book that has been published up to this time. The drink recipes and other bits of information and humor were collected over a period of fifty-two years of traveling, dining, drinking and working in the Hotel and Restaurant industry. Most of the recipes were told to me by bartenders, wine stewards, wine producers, distillery managers, liquor salesmen, brew masters and drinking folk that I met in my travels, including a "white lightning" entrepreneur. Throughout this book there are hundreds of jokes, quotes, toasts, quips, statements, recommended name brand alcoholic delights, ways to make your own, serious and amusing anecdotes and philosophies by famous and infamous people that I have collected in my travels or enjoyed over a cocktail in some distant oasis. I have tried to give proper credit, where credit is due; but for those that I can find no origin, I simply call them "Trixieism's" You be the judge."
