Publisher's Synopsis
An anthology of the forgotten creators of, and the stories behind, the world's favorite drinks
From fine wines to bottled waters, and everything in between, discover who we should really be toasting the next time we raise our glasses! Robert Booth reveals which bestselling whisky was originally created by a teetotaler, how an ex-banker's wife's collection of empty scent bottles came in handy and led to today's 57ml bottle which is an essential in every bar in the world, and what much-loved drink began its life as a Red Snapper. Entertaining and enlightening, this is a celebration to all those who saw fit to add some wonder to the world by pouring their creative genius into a bottle.
