A History of the World in 6 Glasses by Tom Standage
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Lots of history in this…hemispherical history, that is. Rather myopically focused on the western part, but still interesting. Beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea and cola…sure, why not? I see beer and wine, tea and maybe coffee, but distilled alcohol, no, and colas? Too recent.
Entertaining, well written, informative, but the selection is quite obviously subjective. Worth the read.
