Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. The book is a three part compilation. The first part is a guide to various types of alcohol, cocktails, wine a beer. If found this to be the most entertaining and informative part of the book. The second part is a compilation of weekly (I assume) newspaper columns written by the author. Some of these deal with subject covered in the first part. This section is also entertaining, though not quite as much as the first part. The third part is a quiz on wines, beer and cocktails. I did not read this section, as the quiz aspect did not appeal to me. All in all, a very enjoyable read. I loved the first half of this book. The recipes are interesting, the opinions quite firm, and the tone decidedly British. I share Amis' bias regarding single malt scotch but we disagree wildly on gin. The book IS repetitive (it's a collection of newspaper columns, for the most part, and a certain amount of repetition is forgivable in that context) and could have been edited to remove some of that. Worth a look, especially for the Anglophilic bibber. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Really only the first or the second book is worth reading, as there is a lot of repetition. Read the first if you want your quips embedded in cocktail recipes, the second if you prefer a weekly-column format. The third book is just a quiz.
Quite entertaining and somewhat informative if this advice is followed. One star deducted for repetition, one for book three. ( )
