A Useful Book in A Non-traditional Area
Many wine lovers in the United States don't really know much about after-dinner drinks - it is partially because most of the people drink coffee with desserts, not wines or spirits. This book provides information from the very basic to the in-depth inspections - helping the readers explore this wonderful new territory. Nice illustrations/pictures are a definite plus...

After Dinner Drinks: Choosing, Serving, Enjoying
I have to say that I was looking forward to this book. However after reading chapters on whisky, grappe and cognac, I found the book rather lacking, disappointing and a slight inaccurate. In the instance of inaccuracy, "Eau de Cerise" or "Kirschwasser" is not Cherry Brandy. Cherry Brandy is a rather sweet liquor with a ruby colour. Also I was...

By WineGuy (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: After-Dinner Drinks: Choosing, Serving and Enjoying (Hardcover)
Many wine lovers in the United States don't really know much about after-dinner drinks - it is partially because most of the people drink coffee with desserts, not wines or spirits. This book provides information from the very basic to the in-depth inspections - helping the readers explore this wonderful new territory. Nice illustrations/pictures are a definite plus. Hopefully, this book will encourage you to take a closer look at the dessert wine list next time when you dine out!

After Dinner Drinks: Choosing, Serving, Enjoying,
By John Pheasant (Berlin, Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: After-Dinner Drinks: Choosing, Serving and Enjoying (Hardcover)
I have to say that I was looking forward to this book. However after reading chapters on whisky, grappe and cognac, I found the book rather lacking, disappointing and a slight inaccurate. In the instance of inaccuracy, "Eau de Cerise" or "Kirschwasser" is not Cherry Brandy. Cherry Brandy is a rather sweet liquor with a ruby colour. Also I was disappointed to see no chapter on Rum, and scant recognition of such digestives as the wonderful range of different herb liquors and bitters. To be blunt I paid alot of money for this and I felt totally ripped off
