Tonic is a biannual drink and travel magazine bringing you the culture of and the history behind drinks from around the world.
From the publisher:
"In this issue, we travel far and wide. Kate Wickers takes us to Calabria for a taste of bittersweet amaro before moving on to Brazil for an in-depth look at cachaça. Simon Urwin explores the bold wines of Azerbaijan, while Tim Bird joins a lively sahti party in Finland and celebrates Estonian spirits. Juliet Rix introduces us to the spirited women of temperance, and Claire Dodd discovers a beer brewed for teetotal Mormons in Utah. James March highlights Indigenous-owned wineries in British Columbia, Canada.
Benita Finanzio investigates Switzerland's Ticinese white Merlot, Clinton Cawood searches for a tropical kiki in the Isle of Man, and Andrew Church dives into sake. Along the way, Carol Wright takes a daring sip of bathwater, and Deanna Thomas meets a water sommelier with an expert palate.
These stories remind us that drink is never just a beverage; it encompasses history, culture, rituals, and surprises, all poured into a glass."
