Intoxicating: Ten Drinks That Shaped Australia by Max Allen

If you are looking for a beach read that’s equal parts breezy and intelligent, look no further. Veteran drinks journalist Max Allen examines Australia’s history through the lens of ten drinks. You’ll work your way through the sap of the Tasmanian cider gum, fermented by First Nations peoples, and work your way through iconic lager, 150-year-old Champagne rescued from a shipwreck, sherry, claret and even ponder the potential future of wine made from native grapes. Approachable, insightful and a downright don’t-want-to-put-it-down adventure.
