Is bourbon the quintessential American liquor? Bourbon is not just alcohol - the amber-colored drink is deeply ingrained in American culture and tangled in American history. From the early days of raw corn liquor to the myriad distilleries that have proliferated around the country today, bourbon is a symbol of the United States. This course traces bourbon's entire history, from the 1700s, with Irish, Scottish, and French settlers setting up stills and making distilled spirits in the New World, through today's booming resurgence.

We live in a world of seeds. From our morning toast to the cotton in our clothes, they are quite literally the stuff and staff of life, supporting diets, economies, and civilizations around the globe. Just as the search for nutmeg and the humble peppercorn drove the Age of Discovery, so did coffee beans help fuel the Enlightenment and cottonseed help spark the Industrial Revolution. And from the fall of Rome to the Arab Spring, the fate of nations continues to hinge on the seeds of a Middle Eastern grass known as wheat.

Sourdough bread fueled the labor that built the Egyptian pyramids. The Roman Empire distributed free sourdough loaves to its citizens to maintain political stability. More recently, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, sourdough bread baking became a global phenomenon as people contended with being confined to their homes and sought distractions from their fear, uncertainty, and grief. In Sourdough Culture, environmental science professor Eric Pallant shows how throughout history, sourdough bread baking has always been about survival.

Great description of home winemaking!
This book gave me a very systematic understanding of how to make wine at home. I especially appreciated the section describing common problems and how to avoid them! This book was a fantastic addition to my general education. The narrator was very clear and mellifluous. The recording was top quality, which is a must for me as I usually listen to books while walking or jogging outside. Overall, Crush was extremely enjoyable.

Easy Home Winemaking!
I like listening to this audiobook because I learned a lot! It opens my curiosity and explores my creative side as I follow the procedures and methods included here. Also, I love that there are other fruits that we can use in making wine instead of grapes. I will surely save money because buying it from the store is very expensive. So happy that I have listened to this!

Winemaking made easy
My husband and I love to sip wine every time we eat dinner. Since inflation is rising, purchasing a wine has been a pain in our pockets so we decided to actually make our own wine to save money. We're trying to make our own wine with this audiobook! It covers all the necessary steps we should take in home winemaking. I've learned a lot of things and I love how the prevention on potential problems is also included. I highly recommend it!

This book provides step by step process on how to make your own perfect wine. The book is titled "crush" because it is one of the first thing that you need to do in wine making. While this book provides informative details on how to make a wine, it also promotes good attitudes like, patience and taking pride of what you do since this attitudes is a must have in wine making. Overall, what a great book!

Truly grateful for this!!!
We have a lot of produce of grapes this year and I'm thinking of a way to make something out of it. I want to try winemaking but I'm very skeptical at first because I have zero knowledge about it. Luckily, I've found this gem! This audiobook boosted my confidence because it taught me a lot of useful information, steps, and tips for winemaking. I'm definitely trying home winemaking right away!
