Intoxicating History

The history of drink, and the drink that made history, with Tom Parker Bowles and Henry Jeffreys.

Signal AwardBronze, food and drink, 2025

Award-winning drinks writer Henry Jeffreys and food journalist Tom Parker Bowles explore how the story of civilisation flows through the history of drink: ancient brews, Prohibition, royal tipples and revolutionary cocktails.

The first season was made with the support of Taylor’s Port. The second, a Christmas special, came in association with Wylde Market, and walks through Christmas Day one drink at a time, from mid-morning champagne to the 1826 West Point Eggnog Riot.
