Whatever your favourite tipple, when you pour yourself a drink, you have the past in a glass.
You can likely find them all in your own kitchen — beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, cola. Line them up on the counter, and there you have it: thousands of years of human history in six drinks.
Tom Standage opens a window onto the past in this tour of six beverages that remain essentials today. En route he makes fascinating forays into the byways of western culture: Why were ancient Egyptians buried with beer? Why was wine considered a “classier” drink than beer by the Romans? How did rum grog help the British navy defeat Napoleon? What is the relationship between coffee and revolution? And how did Coca-Cola become the number one poster-product for globalization decades before the term was even coined?

history could be this interesting 大中华的描述太少了,尤其是酒
评分@Belize. The content itself is super interesting and worth reading... but I wouldn't say that Standage is a interesting writer..
评分#读这种书就是为了搜集fun facts,但我睡着了太多次,也没有收集到多少。在半梦半醒的状态,我发现读书的这位小哥有点轻微的口吃

评分酒是诗人的最爱,它麻痹人的理智,放大非理性的情感,使人狂放不羁;咖啡是思想家的最爱,它化沮丧为振作,鼓舞人拆除传统的藩篱、冲破现实的枷锁,超越古代的思想、重建知识的大厦。 酒吧里往往光线昏暗,令人颓靡消沉,而咖啡馆则光线明亮,常备有书架、植物及典雅的家具...
评分A good book with suffient details, however, i feel the writer could do better job to make it smoother
评分人是聪明的动物,总能找到新颖的叙述角度。《六个瓶子里的历史》的作者,用六种饮品——啤酒、葡萄酒、烈酒、咖啡、茶和可乐来记述文明发展的进程,显得历史是那么的生活而又富有创意。 饮品不仅解渴,也是庆祝新生、纪念故人、促成合约、巩固关系、提神醒脑、消除烦恼、做药引...
评分到超市里转,但凡是喜欢喝点什么的,能瞧在眼里,也会赏心悦目地立刻盯上的,就是那摆放得整整齐齐、琳琅满目酒类和饮料了,譬如白酒、葡萄酒、啤酒、可口可乐,当然也不能忘记了咖啡和茶。喝茶与喝咖啡,既会显得繁琐——喝茶讲究起来,那是可以称之为“茶道”的,从器...
