IWD: In Praise of Maria the Jewess
Maria the Jewess and the invention of distillation Without the invention of the still, I wouldn’t have a job. The general historical consensus is that the first person known to have distilled alcohol was the great Arab alchemist Jābir Ibn Hayyan (c.AD 721-815). His part in the eventual invention of Gin is unsurprisingly the least of the accolades and perhaps on International Men’s Day, I’ll go into that further. Behind every great man is a great woman, but in the case of Jābir, there was a great woman about 700 years before him. Maria the Jewess. Maria lived in the Egyptian city of Alexandria and is considered one of the first people that wrote about alchemy. What is alchemy? Alchemy isn’t the crackpot pursuit of turning lead into gold. Well, at least it’s not only that. Alchemy was a mixture of science, pseudo-science and philosophy and was the progenitor to chemistry and modern medicine. Western alchemy, the one we know the most about, was defined by its dogged pursuit of three

Boozy Books - World Book Day Special
World Book Day is upon us. In the UK, we celebrate this by either sending our children to school dressed as characters that might have a connection to literature or by pontificating about how tenuous that connection is. Essentially we get to engage in competitive parenting and snobbery, which people seem to enjoy. It hasn’t got much to do with reading. Anyway, it’s inspired me to recommend some books on drinking. Best Book about the History of Gin Gin Glorious Gin by Olivia Williams There are lots of books about Gin. Most are feeble efforts designed as Christmas presents for the gin drinker in your life, cheerfully received but destined to be taken, unread, to the charity shop, but there are a few that are worth reading. History scholar and gin fan Olivia Williams manages to condense gin’s history into 300 pages but includes enough detail for it to come across as thorough and well researched, and Williams has a writing style that is accessible and witty. It’s anything but (Londo

The Wine Resistance: A New Wine Series About Culture, Climate, and People
I’ve been a little quieter than usual on my website and social channels these past months.Not because I had nothing to say — but because I was building something. For a long time now, I’ve been preoccupied by the state of the wine world. Wine has always lived through cycles of crisis and renewal. But today, the pressures feel unusually concentrated. Climate change is reshaping how and where wine can be grown. Consumption patterns are shifting, especially among younger generations. And public conversations around alcohol are increasingly reduced to binary, fear-based narratives that leave little room for nuance, culture, or lived experience. At the same time, many people feel pushed away from wine altogether — intimidated by its language, unsure of its place in their lives, worried about choosing or tasting “wrong.” And yet, everywhere I travel and work, I keep meeting people who are deeply engaged, thoughtful, and resilient. People who are adapting, rethinking, and refusing to let wine
