"A journey through time and taste: From tea amidst the ruins to champagne celebrations" Amidst the bomb damage at New Cross, a resilient woman finds solace in a comforting cup of tea, reminding us that even in chaos, there is still room for small moments of tranquility. In Valencia's historic center, an old wall advertises a drink that once quenched the thirsts of generations past, serving as a reminder of how beverages have woven themselves into our cultural fabric. Step back into 1751 with William Hogarth's "Gin Lane, " where the perils of excessive drinking are depicted vividly, urging us to reflect on the consequences that can accompany indulgence. Journey into Arthurian legend with Sir Gawain and his encounter with the Green Knight – a tale where honor is tested and courage is rewarded; perhaps over shared drinks among knights. A woman holds onto her oversized coffee cup tightly as if it were her lifeline – showcasing how this beloved beverage has become an essential part of our daily routines and rituals. The Horn & Hardart Automat in bustling New York City offers convenience alongside steaming cups of coffee or other refreshing drinks – capturing an era when efficiency met enjoyment. Huggins Beer advert invites you to raise your glass high and toast to good times shared amongst friends - because some memories are best made over cold brews on warm summer nights. Mumms Champagne advertisement sparkles with elegance and sophistication - inviting you to indulge in life's celebratory moments while sipping on bubbles that dance upon your tongue. Sandeman Port advertisement transports you to Portugal's vineyards, enticing you to savor rich flavors from sun-kissed grapes aged gracefully within oak barrels - an invitation for refined palates seeking pleasure. Dylan Thomas' iconic image captures him both drinking and smoking.
