The International Beverage Dictionary is written for anyone who consumes, writes, enjoys, or even is involved in the alcoholic beverage industry. It is the only dictionary in the world covering international beverage terms. It does not cover, nor does it mention brand names. It covers terminology...both alcoholic (wines, beers, and distilled spir-its) and nonalcoholic (bottled water, coffee, tea, soft drinks) beverages. Literally any beverage you may consume anywhere on the planet is discussed and defined in easy to read terms. It encompasses words and terms, label terminology, slang, cocktails, trivia, geography, terms relating to the production, and service of beverages, as well as origins of historical significance. The dictionary contains more than 13,000 terms, serving as a quick resource, as well as providing much needed research and reference material, with in-depth coverage. It defines everyday and technical terms, making it a necessity for everyone's library or bookcase."
