Delectably brief essays that tell you only what you need to know to enjoy wine. There are wine encyclopedias, bibles, and guides — this is not one of those books. It doesn’t contain everything, just the really important stuff: the truly key wines, grapes, regions; tips about wine buying, ageing, and storage; and useful explanations about tasting notes and whether or not vintages really matter. In short, this book covers the real absolutes that you need to know about wine.

With the pithy wit that readers of her columns have come to expect, Lettie Teague breaks down the stumbling blocks that often intimidate us and clears up the myths that cloud our understanding. A series of mini-essays cover the essentials in a fun, omnibus fashion. The tone is sometimes irreverent, sometimes opinionated, but always practical. For instance, there are entries such as "The Unbearable Oakiness of Being," "Can Wedding Wine Be Good," and "Why You Really Need Only One Glass." Other entries may provoke some lively debate, such as "Men Are from Cab, Women Are from Moscato" and "In Defense of Wine Snobs."

The opposite of a didactic textbook, this volume is not meant to be read from start to finish. Instead, like wine itself, it encourages small contemplative sips. It is a companion for the modern taster, a concise and curated collection of tidbits to satisfy anyone with a lively curiosity and palate.

Ale seekers, beer buffs, and novices alike will gain a fascinating insight into the world of beer, from bitters, to stouts, and sour ales to pale ales and saisons.

Updated to provide an overview of key developments in the beer world, this classic guide explores the craft brewery revolution in the United States which has thrown up hundreds of fascinating and tasty ales, some created and sold in tiny brewpubs, others made in small and medium-sized breweries, from Portland to Denver, Boston to San Diego.

Meanwhile, a beer and food revolution is underway, with beer becoming a valid accompaniment to fine food as lovers of quality ale are championing their tipple as a credible alternative to a glass of wine with dinner. Seven years on from the original publication, this new and revised edition of a much-loved title provides insightful resumes of all that is happening in the constantly changing world of beer. An authoritative, engaging review of the world’s best beers to sip and savour!

An inspiring showcase of today’s new food movement and the people behind it.

Creative young people who used to want to work at start-ups, advertising agencies, or investment banks are now increasingly likely to become organic farmers, beekeepers, speak-easy bartenders, or owners of mom-and-pop grocery stores. Inspired by heartfelt passion and an uncompromising commitment to quality, a new generation of entrepreneurs from around the world is putting their skills to work at preserving local culinary traditions, brewing the best beer, preparing exceptional marmalades, or rescuing heirloom varieties of apples.

A Delicious Life presents the protagonists of this new food movement and offers a look into their world as well as their kitchens, gardens, stores, and workshops. While some are rediscovering long forgotten ingredients or cooking methods, others are researching and developing inventive new recipes. The book features designers who are integrating food and culinary rituals into their creations as well publishers of so-called foodzines who are documenting the latest innovations in charming ways.

The book also features a broad spectrum of locations for cooking, eating, and shopping, as well as kitchen utensils and surprising events that encourage readers to become a part of this new food movement themselves.

In this compact guidebook wine lovers will find documented facts and valuable tips all about wine.

Belgian beer pride is one of the things that unite this country. This third revamped, revised and updated edition of our iconic All Belgian Beers demonstrates that Belgium still lives up to its reputation of being a beer lover’s paradise. Over 600 new beers have successfully been introduced to the market since the last update of this beer bible in 2011. All of these new stouts, lagers, trappists, lambics, abbey beers, ales, tripels, wheat and fruit beers... have been included in this monumental bestseller, now featuring over 1600 beers!

All Belgian Beers offers an alphabetical overview of the beers brewed by recognized Belgian brewers, for their own assortment or for other beer companies. As in the previous editions, each beer is fully described and illustrated with pictures of the glasses and bottles.

Beers from industrial companies and smaller craft breweries, as well as microbreweries and home breweries have been included, as long as they are bottled and sold outside the brewery or local pub. Own-label beers for supermarkets, private label beers or occasional beers have deliberately not been taken into account. The new edition of All Belgian Beers holds many new discoveries and is still the most exhaustive and indispensable guide to the flourishing Belgian beer culture.
