A note on the dust jacket of the 2008 re-print of this book describes it as “one of the greatest tributes to drink and drinking in the literature of wine.” It isn’t wrong. The 1st edition from 1920 is nice to own but the 2008 version is perhaps better value in terms of the volume of information and commentary from Thomas Pinney.
