Perry

Perry has been made for centuries. Praised by the ancient Romans and once prized as highly as fine wine, it is made from fruit growing on trees that can be up to 300 years old; fruit that is, in some instances, so rare that only a single tree remains of a particular variety. Perry deserves its own authoritative resource, and now it has one. Renowned drinks writer and campaigner Adam Wells has written the world's first dedicated and comprehensive guide to this most wondrous of drinks. Illustrated throughout with colour photography, 'Perry' takes the reader on a journey through the magical world of perry, with information on its troubled history, the many different varieties of pear, how it's made, and, most importantly, a guide to styles, countries, regions, and producers.
