Going head first down the rabbit hole, huh? Welcome to the obsession.
My recommendations:

While not exactly a biography you might like The Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary.
This doesn't hit any of your specifics but as a fellow non non-fiction reader The Drunken Botanist also piqued my interest.

It's my favorite subject to read about, although in contrast I am a consumer and a bartender.
If you want to ache your temptation more, I suggest you check out The Drunken Botanist. It's about the plants that are used to make alcohol and their cocktails, but contains a healthy amount of history, too.
Wow, what a contest! Super generous of you!
This book seems really neat because I've always been fascinated by alcohol. Not in a let's-get-drunk-as-a-skunk-every-night sort of way, but the history and variety of it. It fascinates me! And any way to learn more, would be awesome.
Oh, and my name is Salem. Nice to meet you! And I am cool with PMing you my address should that come up.
Edit: I have the hardcover on my WL, because, well, I don't have a kindle. I just realized. Will I need to add the kindle version if I win? (not a problem to do so, obviously, just clarifying!) Oops!
So...I've been looking at this book. The Drunken Botanist. I think it looks swell!
But I do wish I had a digeridoo on there. Cause digeridoo!
Have fun with the alphabet!
The Drunken Botanist is one of the many books on my Book Wishilist. :D
