Advance copies of ‘Vines in a Cold Climate’ by Henry Jeffreys are in! Such a lovely, eye-catching cover and the endorsements have been wonderful. “Captivating, impeccably researched and endlessly entertaining. Henry Jeffreys embraces his subject like a scholar but with wry humour and a novelist’s knack for storytelling. It’s the best book on wine I have read,” says Russell Norman. Cheers to that! 'Vines in a Cold Climate' is available in all good book retailers from August 3rd and to pre-order now.
Intoxicating History - Henry Jeffreys & Tom Parker-Bowles
We're delighted to announce the launch of Intoxicating History, a brand-new podcast series that uncorks the history of alcohol and the alcohol that shaped history. Each week, award-winning authors and raconteurs Henry Jeffreys and Tom Parker-Bowles will be decanting and discussing the stories behind some of the world's most popular beverages. Was champagne really invented by a blind French monk? Did vodka-politics contribute to the Russian Revolution? Was Hogarth part of an anti-gin conspiracy? Did the Ancient Greeks invent drinking games? To find out the answers to these questions and much more besides, be sure to tune in to this warm and witty 20-part series of rich storytelling blended with Henry and Tom's expert tasting notes. Intoxicating History is brought to you by the team that made the global TV series The Wine Show and is sponsored by Taylor's Port. Episode 1 is available from December 5th 2024.
