Summary: Great History and Easy to Understand
Comment: This book by Albert W.A. Schmid is full of interesting, historical details regarding the history of wines, beers and spirits. His Louisville roots are evident when one reads his sections on Kentucky Bourbon. Bourbon drinkers will drool! Wines are segmented "by the grape" which makes understanding the large variety of wineries and varietals very easy and simple. This book gives an excellent overview of wines, beers and spirits -- from the way they are produced to the myriad of ways they can be paired with your favorite foods!

For Courses in Wines, Beers and Spirits, Dining Room Services and Beverage Cost Control. This concise, yet comprehensive introduction to the history, science and varieties of alcoholic beverages includes an anecdotal history of alcoholic beverages and their cultural influences. The user-friendly approach offers a unique presentation of wines, beers and spirits: wines are taught by the grapes from which the wines are made; the study of beers is differentiated by the type of yeast used in fermentation; and the approach to studying spirits is broken into aged and non-aged and fruit or grain-based.
