An alcoholic cruise around the Atlantic

An alcoholic cruise around the Atlantic, by Roger Kynaston

Roger and Audrey recently completed an 18-month Atlantic circuit. The cruise was a huge success and one of the highlights was a chance to sample different drinks all along the way. There was a not a single location where they weren’t able to sample the local tipple, including such classics as Bajan rum and port from Porto. However, even in such places as Morocco and the Azores, they enjoyed local wine. Of course, the Caribbean itself was dominated by the different rums – some of which were made into terrifying punches.

As well as describing the different wines and other drinks you encounter round the Atlantic, this talk will explore some of their history and even maritime links with the UK and other European countries.

Date: Wednesday 9th November. Lectures and talks start promptly at 7pm.

Place: CA House
