Britain in a Bottle
"Entertaining as well as being thorough, this is an essential handbook for anyone interested in the UK's hugely varied breweries, distilleries and wineries - so welcome at a time when food and drink tourism is burgeoning" - Charles Maclean, author of Malt Whisky, a Master of the Quaich, and inductee into the Whisky magazine Hall of Fame "A unique, comprehensive guide for connoisseurs and anyone interested in the art of distilling. incredibly informative" - Devon Life "An extensive guide book for drinks lovers" - Sunday Post "An entertaining compendium" - Dundee Courier "It's a super read, love the overall idea, at last a different sort of 'whisky' book." - Dr Bill Lumsden, Director of Distilling, Whisky Creation & Whisky Stocks' at Glenmorangie

"Entertaining and thorough. an essential handbook" Charles Maclean
Recent years have seen a huge increase in the number of these places all over the country not only operating but also welcoming visitors, from small single-man producers working from home to large, world-famous labels, and from well-established brands to the revival of 200-year-old manufacturers that had almost been lost to prosperity.

"Entertaining and thorough. an essential handbook" Charles Maclean
Recent years have seen a huge increase in the number of these places all over the country not only operating but also welcoming visitors, from small single-man producers working from home to large, world-famous labels, and from well-established brands to the revival of 200-year-old manufacturers that had almost been lost to prosperity. Now, for the first time, they have been gathered together in a single book which celebrates their craftsmanship, pinpoints their locations, describes who they are and what they do, and provides detailed information about how you can visit and sample their wares.
Expert authors Ted Bruning, previously of What's Brewing magazine, and Rupert Wheeler, previously of Whisky Magazine, focus on places that are normally open during the holiday season, have a visitor centre and shop, and (in most cases) welcome families so you don't have to leave the kids in the car! Arranged by country, with chapters concentrating on individual counties and regions, no matter where you are you'll find a brewery, cider mill, distillery or vineyard within reach, many in historic, beautiful or quirky locations, from a brewery in a windmill to a distiller in the operating theatre of a former animal hospital.
