This volume's cover art is made by artist, musician and bartender Josh Linfitt. We feature Josh in the Intermission section of the magazine.

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.
