Dear Brian Of no help to your question, save for a passing reference to " '81 champagne', but worth a look for the fun of it anyway is the poem "La Nuit Blanche" Beat wishes Howard Mather, Wykeham Books www.bibliographies.co.uk ----- Original Message ---- From: Brian Kappler <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Friday, 31 October, 2008 11:03:08 PM Subject: RK's drinking habits Neil Pendock, the drinks columnist at The Times in Johannesburg, referred in passing, in a recent column, to "that old whisky tippler Rudyard Kipling." The full item is at http://blogs.thetimes.co.za/pendock/2008/10/31/whisky-wednesday/ and the reference to RK is at the end. I've sent him a note to ask how he knows what Kipling drank. Do we indeed know? I can't think offhand of any reference to his own taste in beer, wine, or spirits. Can anyone?
