Murder by the Glass — Peter Haining

A vintage collection of crime and mystery stories. (BYLINE) A wine connoisseur goads his hated rival with a mystifying claret... a collector sets up his wife's lover with the last priceless bottle of a rare vintage... a clerk meets a startling fate on opening a bottle of gin... and a brooding wife plots a calculated revenge with a postprandial liqueur. The evils of drink fairly overflow in this cocktail of stories by some of the greatest exponents of crime fiction, including Roald Dahl, Kingsley Amis, Somerset Maugham, Dorothy L. Sayers, and Ruth Rendell.
