American whiskey made from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak barrels, which gives vanilla, caramel and toffee notes. Most comes from Kentucky.
Made like bourbon but filtered through sugar-maple charcoal before ageing (the Lincoln County Process), which softens it.
Spicier and drier than bourbon because rye grain gives peppery, herbal notes. The classic base of the Manhattan and the Sazerac.
Rum flavoured with spices and usually sweetened.
The world's best-known soft drink, first sold as a tonic at a pharmacy in 1886.
A sweet, non-alcoholic American soda with vanilla and wintergreen notes.
The world's most planted red grape: full-bodied, tannic, with blackcurrant, cedar and mint. The backbone of Left Bank Bordeaux.
Softer and plummier than Cabernet, with chocolate notes. Pétrus, one of the world's most expensive wines, is almost all Merlot.
Light-bodied, silky red with cherry, raspberry and earthy notes. Difficult to grow, which is why great Burgundy is so prized.
Dark, peppery red. Called Syrah in France (savoury, smoky) and Shiraz in Australia (riper, jammy).
Inky, plush red with plum and violet. Argentina made it famous, grown at high altitude in the Andes.
Spain's signature red: cherry, leather and tobacco, often aged in oak. Labels show ageing: Crianza, Reserva, Gran Reserva.
