Soothing winter warmers and delicate botanical teas join energy-boosting tonics and zingy summer coolers.

Since its invention 13,000 years ago, our love of beer has shaped everything from religious ceremonies to advertising, and architecture to bioengineering. The people who built the pyramids were paid in ale, the first fridge was built for beer not food, bacteria was discovered while investigating sour beer, Germany’s beer halls hosted Hitler’s rise to power, and brewer’s yeast may yet be the answer to climate change. In this book, Jonny Garrett tells the stories of these incredible human moments and inventions, taking readers to some of the best-known beer destinations in the world – Munich and Oktoberfest, Carlsberg Brewery’s historic laboratory, St Louis and the home of Budweiser – as well as those lesser-known, from a 5,000 year old brewery in the Egyptian desert to Arctic Svalbard, home to the world’s most northerly pub.
In ‘One Thousand Vines’ internationally celebrated sommelier Pascaline Lepeltier answers all the important questions about wine. With three main parts – ‘Reading Vines’, ‘Reading Landscapes’ and ‘Reading Wines’ – the book challenges preconceived ideas about the vine and its wine. It explains where we are now, how we got here, and shows us a way forward – in how grapes will be grown, made into wine, sold and enjoyed. ‘One Thousand Vines’ isn’t an encyclopedia or atlas but it answers all the important questions about wine and offers the reader keys to understand the links between the bottle and the producers, terroirs and vineyards which give birth to it.
