From award-winning booze correspondent Henry Jeffreys comes this rich and full-bodied history of Britain and the Empire, told through the improbable but true stories of how the world's favourite alcoholic drinks came to be.
Empire of Booze traces the impact of alcohol on British culture and society, from madeira and India Pale Ale being created to withstand the long, hot journeys to overseas territories to why whisky became the favoured choice for weary empire builders longing for home.
Filled to the brim with fascinating trivia, this colourful history underlines that Britain's alcoholic innovations are some of its greatest, most lasting gifts to the world.
Henry Jeffreys is a contributor to Good Food, the Guardian, Harpers Wine & Spirit, and Spectator, wine columnist for The Critic magazine, and along with Tom Parker Bowles he hosts the 'Intoxicating History' podcast. He was Fortnum & Mason Drink Writer of the Year in 2022 and is the author of four books: Empire of Booze, The Home Bar, The Cocktail Dictionary and Vines in a Cold Climate, which was shortlisted for the James Beard awards, Guild of Food Writers Awards, 67 Pall Mall wine writing awards and won Fortnum & Mason Drink Book of the Year 2024. He lives in Kent with his wife and two daughters.
