ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED in 1896, Bariana: Recueil pratique de toutes boissons Americaines et Anglaises by Louis Fouquet is regarded as the second French cocktail book ever published. But there is no question that Bariana is the first heralded French cocktail book: Unveiled in the 1898 edition of the popular Almanach Hachette encyclopaedia, a handful of Fouquet's recipes were published along with the comment that "Thanks to Mr. Louis Fouquet, the skiilful barman from the Criterion (121 r. St-Lazare) American and English beverages can now be prepared by everyone as easily as combining anisette and water."Translated into English and annotated by award-winning mixologist Charles Vexenat, Mixellany's Annotated Bariana displays Fouquet's passionate dedication to the art of bartending to a new audience of cocktail aficionados. Besides providing readers with keen insights into the Golden Age of cocktails in Paris, this book demonstrates how vintage recipes such as Fouquet's Whiskey Snapper and Martinican Cocktail come alive when adapted for modern palates and for execution by the new generation of mixologists.This special edition contains both Vexenat's annotated and translated work as well as the original French text.

New ZealandΓÇÖs wine came to the worldΓÇÖs attention in the late 1980ΓÇÖs with its production of some of the best quality sauvignon blancs. Since then the industry has grown significantly and has increasingly gained an international reputation as a producer of quality, boutique wines.This volume provides an innovative, multi-disciplinary and critical review of wine production and consumption focusing specifically on the fascinating wine industry of New Zealand. It considers the history, production, aesthetics, consumption and role of place (identity) from multi-disciplinary perspectives to offer insight into the impacts of wine production and consumption. By linking the study of wine to broadly constructed social, cultural, historical and transnational processes the book contributes to contemporary debates on the ΓÇ£life of commoditiesΓÇ¥, ΓÇ£social classΓÇ¥ and ΓÇ£place and peopleΓÇ¥. Throughout comparisons are made to other internationally recognized wine regions such as Bordeaux and Burgundy.This title furthers the understanding of the social/cultural context of wine production and consumption in this region and will be valuable reading to students, researchers and academics interested in gastronomy, wine studies, tourism and hospitality.
In an increasingly competitive global market winemakers are seeking to increase their sales and wine regions to attract tourists. To achieve these aims they are starting to link wine marketing with identity, distinguishing wine products from their competitors by focusing on cultural and geographical attributes. This timely book examines this phenomena and how it is leading to changes in the wine and tourism industries for the first time. It takes a global approach, drawing on research studies from around the world including old and new world wine regions. The book critically explores wine culture, history, marketing, management, `sense of place¿ and tourism to offer insight into utilizing identity to sell wine and how this leads to reimagining and/or reinforcement of regional identities and cultural heritage.

Questions of Taste is the first book to examine the philosophical issues surrounding our experience and enjoyment of wine. Featuring lucid essays from philosophers, a linguist, a biochemist, a wine producer and a winecritic, these leading thinkers use their critical and analytical skills to address these controversial issues.
