( )In addition to his mastery of language, Kingsley Amis was apparently a master of spirits. I enjoyed this book not so much for that topic itself as his commentary about how we interact with it. This books includes a collection of a series of columns he wrote, plus several essay on such things as wine, beer, whisky, and pubs. He had the historical and cultural depth to provide a deeper assessment than most people could. Amis knew alot about drinking and his series of humorous articles serves up his collective wit and wisdom on the subject. Ultimately, however, Amis could not handle his drink. He did not care much for wine and that prejudice shines through. This book came close to being charming, but failed somehow. 0.036 seconds to build listing
