________

Do you always ask for the same old wine, the usual pint, the reliable spirit? It's all too easy to play it safe, and finding new favourites can take time and effort.

Until now.

Using the algorithm 'If you like this, you'll love that', this ingenious guide will lead you by your taste buds, using your existing favourite drinks and flavours to reveal vast varieties that will also suit your palate.

Fan of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc? Try Sancerre for similar grassy notes.

Partial to Vintage Champagne? Believe it or not, you may also like a Brown Porter.

Those who enjoy Scotch Single Malt Whisky should give a Californian Pinot Noir a go, while a preference for Pornstar Martinis suggests you'll also be fond of Japanese Sake.

Exploring the gamut of flavour styles, from floral and fruity to smoky and spicy, then showcasing all the drinks in which you can find them, from wine, beer, cider, tequila and vodka through to tea, coffee, mixers and everything in between

There's a whole universe of incredible wine, beer, spirits and cocktails just waiting to be discovered and enjoyed - if only we can step outside that comfort zone.

This book will show you how.

The Alcorithm Reviews

A kind of Flavour Thesaurus but for drinks of all kinds including peppermint tea, sauvignon blanc, chartreuse and stout, it parses liquids by their aromatic notes and flavours, so that you can look up one drink or taste you enjoy and follow the scent-trail to another you might want to try . . . Open at any page and you're immediately plunged into a joyful, thoughtful labyrinth in which you can happily lose yourself for hours * Telegraph *
This book is all about the pleasures of raising a glass. It sets about questioning the myths and science of taste in a simple, fun yet authoritative way. We all have our favourite tipple and are creatures of habit but this book tells you what to try next and why... cheers ! -- Michel Roux Jr
