I'm proposing a course on the history of alcohol, broadly construed (I'll
narrow it down soon enough) and am looking for decent general histories, or
collections.  I know of "The changing face of drink" and earlier
collections ("Alcohol, Reform and Society" for example.. part of my
personal Jack Blocker library!) but could use a few more suggestions...
especially something that is accessible for non-historians.

The course I'm proposing is for general students, but especially students
of viticulture, so wine history would also be useful.

I know similar questions have been asked of this list before, but they were
a while back, and new material might be available (for example, I seem to
recall Rod Phillips was talking about developing such a course or text a
few months ago).  So any suggestions will be appreciated.

Cheers.
