商品簡介
Oz Clarke is a wine connoisseur and James May a beer-drinking, fast car fanatic who has dubbed his colleague `pretentious'. In their voyages of viticultural discovery around France and California in Series One and Two of `Oz and James's Big Wine Adventures', James learnt a lot about winemaking and O2 learnt that James can't spit. It seemed only right to take a look closer to home and so, in this highly personal account, the odd couple set off on a summer road trip on a quest to find the drink that defines modern Britain.
For their latest adventure, James produces a supremely British combination of classic Rolls Royce towing an appallingly kitsch Sprite caravan from the 1970s. The unlikely companions live in this tiny, leaky Sprite as they travel around Britain in one of the wettest summers on record.
Their first mission is to find out what goes into a good British beer. The next is to seek out an `honest' drink made and served by an `honest' brewer, pub or winemaker. Oz and James then move on to explore other drinks that might define modern Britain - malt whisky, of course, English wine, Plymouth gin, potato vodka and scrumptious cider and perry, with a sideways glance at Ireland, the ultimate example of a country where one drink defines the whole nation.
As part of their `research' O2 and James visit some of Britain's most passionate drinks producers, including a traditional maltster, England's oldest cider maker, a Kent hop farmer, brewers, winemakers and distillers and many others, before drawing their conclusions on the white cliffs of Dover.

作者簡介
Oz Clarke (right) is a renowned authority on wine and former leading West End actor. Known for his phenomenal palate, irreverent style, accurate predictions and enthusiasm for life in general, Oz is Britain's most popular wine writer and the author of a collection of bestselling books about wine. He also broadcasts extensively on television and radio. When not writing about wine, he likes to have the occasional pint of India Pale Ale.
James May (left) is an enthusiastic beer drinker, which helps him to believe he's funny as a writer, broadcaster and co-host of BBC TV's Top Gear. He also writes a weekly motoring column for The Daily Telegraph, in which he diversifies into subjects as unrelated as pies, hats, American hard gums, spam, poetry and his manifesto for `May's Britain'. James enjoys cars, motorcycles, light aircraft and a drink, always in that order. He lives in Hammersmith with Fusker, the world's most unpleasant cat.
