  Wine Wars II - The Global Battle...

  Globalization has pushed back the borders of the wine world, creating a complex, interconnected market where Old World and New World wines and producers compete head to head. Writing with wit and verve, Mike Veseth (a.k.a. the Wine Economist) tells the compelling story of the war between the market forces that are redrawing the world wine map and the terroirists who resist them. 
   
   
   
  Wine Wars II begins by exploring wine globalization, where listeners follow "Missionaries, Migrants, and Market Reforms" to faraway New Zealand and learn how to unlock the secrets of their local retail "Wine Wall" by mastering the "DaVino Code." Globalization brings a world of wine to our doorsteps. Commodification helps us make sense of the resulting embarrassment of riches, but at a cost. Listeners must decide if they are Martians or Wagnerians, consider why "They Always Buy the Ten Cent Wine," and then probe the puzzle of "Outlaws, Prisoners, and the Great Escape." 
   
   
   
  Who stands in the way of the global wine market's assault on wine's very soul? Resistance is not futile, but that doesn't mean the future of wine is secure. A final section explores "Wine's Triple Crisis," environmental crisis, plus economic crisis, plus identity crisis. Taken together these crises pose the most serious threat to wine as we know and love it.

  The Absinthe Forger - A True...

  Absinthe, an elixir made of alcohol and herbs, is a booming business. Yet it is still an underground culture, associated with mystery, romance, and bohemian lifestyles, in keeping with its popularity among the writers, artists, and other ne'er-do-wells. First produced in eighteenth century, the spirit, known as "the Green Fairy," was banned worldwide by 1914 before the bans were gradually overturned beginning in 2005, the year Switzerland relegalized absinthe. 
   
   
   
  Enter a bon vivant who inveigles his way into the private Facebook groups where the modern absinthe demimonde converges and charms some of the best minds (and palates) in the beverage world into thinking that he was selling them precious vintage pre-ban bottles. How did he get away with it? 
   
   
   
  The Absinthe Forger pieces together the forger's subterfuge and motivation. It shows how absinthe can transform a person—and even connect drinkers with a deeper, often hidden sense of self. Rail digs deep into the modern absinthe underground, whose members are still frantic to find the last remaining bottles of pre-ban absinthe, and he visits modern producers of the spirit, who have, in a generation, changed in status from daring criminal bootleggers to sought-after celebrities. The Absinthe Forger is a bizarre crime drama that will make you never look at wormwood in the same way again.

  Explore the people, discoveries, and innovations that created the "water of life" in this compelling narrative. 
   
  In this beautiful volume, renowned whiskey educator Robin Robinson skillfully chronicles the dynamic evolution of whiskey. In the Middle Ages, monasteries distilled spirits initially to make medicine. After King Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries, production shifted from clergy to farmers, and the route to whiskey began. Over the centuries, taxes and prohibitions took their toll. In the 1700s and 1800s, as the British Empire colonized the globe, waves of European emigrants brought the beverage to Australia, Canada, India, Japan, and elsewhere. Surveying the evolution of Scotch, the birth of bourbon and rye, and the importance of family ties, quality control, corporatization, and marketing, this comprehensive compendium details the global impact of the beverage conglomerates, the world's most expensive Scotch, the 2011 curveball of aging bourbon in ex-port barrels, and more. This is an inviting tribute to your favorite dram.
