I thoroughly enjoyed this. Conceptually, it‘s very interesting — filtering history through the lens of popular beverages. I learned a lot about agriculture and the way different cultures approached or reproached these drinks. Plus I am walking away with a good amount of trivia to throw into random conversation. 😁
I listened to this on Audible. Sean Runnette‘s narration often sounded robotic, but overall he did a fine job.

This nonfiction book (with some speculative fiction too) of a woman who built a champagne empire was interesting.
A companion book was the novel
Champagne Widows: First Woman of Champagne: Veuve Clicquot by Rebecca Rosenberg
I hated this so much! We get it, you romanticized moving to NYC, learning about food and wine, and wanted to have sex with a handsome and unavailable guy… who cares!? Blah! #book107of2022
This was a really interesting way to look at history- through the lens of why and how various beverages became popular and how they impacted the world.
#audiopacking and listening to this. I'm worn out this evening but at least the book is interesting.
