У барной стойки. Алкогольные напитки как наука и как искусство

The book blends science, history, and culture—I'm curious what motivated the focus on the scientific aspects and how the author approached this integration.

I loved learning about the chemistry, but at times I wondered if it was a bit overwhelming. Did others find it easy to follow or needed to reread certain parts?

The book covers a wide range of topics, from fermentation to prohibition. I'm curious what guided the selection of these particular stories and how they connect to the science.
