“The green on the label reminds me of US uniforms in Vietnam,” the legendary drinks titan said, sipping the muddy brown liquid with no enthusiasm before delivering his unflinching verdict:

“That shit will never sell!”

More than two billion bottles later, join visionary drinks creator David Gluckman on a rollicking tour through the backroom alchemy of the drinks business, where wild ideas, daring innovations and brilliant products are mixed with a dash of advertising genius to become global mega-brands. And some of the world's best-loved drinks.

Unashamed controversialist Gluckman takes us behind the curtain of the 'Mad Men' era of volatile creatives, buccaneering businessmen and boozy lunches —and his half-century concocting ideas for the world's most intoxicating industry. From clashing egos to late-night panics, “That shit will never sell!” is an anecdote-rich account of how great ideas get made. And sometimes don't.

As well as the biggest hits of his career —multi-billion-selling Baileys, Smirnoff Black, Tanqueray Ten, Cîroc vodka, Sheridan's, The Singleton, Aqua Libra, J&B Jet, Purdey's, Piat d'Or and more— Gluckman's candid insider account also deals with the great ideas that didn’t make it (yet) - the nearly-weres, could’ve-beens and absolutely should’ve-beens.

It's the triumphs as well as hard-won insights distilled from 50 years of experience as a "brand champion" and "ideas man" that make Gluckman's unique book a modern bible for anyone in the business of products, brands, advertising and marketing — a road-map for all creatives on how to pilot their ideas through the complexities of a modern business machine designed to avoid risk.

Beginning in swinging '60s London - before focus groups were an industry, when people did real drinking at lunchtime and “market research” meant putting a bottle in a nearby pub and seeing what happened – “That shit will never sell!” features the remarkable true stories behind:

Baileys: How a 30-second idea went on to sell billions of bottles globally

Cîroc: How the world's first grape vodka started life in a brandy distillery in Tbilisi

Guinness Light: How a “sure-fire hit” collided spectacularly with reality

Le Piat d’Or: How the French “adored” a wine they’d never tried

Plus, now in a brand-new special edition eBook version, Gluckman adds over a hundred live-action links —to atmospheric video content, newsreels and the greatest, nostalgia-inspiring adverts of his career— to take readers back to the golden age of adman's panache.

With its tell-all style, lashings of humour and all-new “retrospective” flavour, Gluckman's inside story of the drinks business is sure to cause a stir.
