Synopsis
There are few books that have had such a monumental impact in their field
as The World Atlas of Wine; sales of the first four editions exceed 3.5
million copies. Now, world-renowned authors Hugh Johnson and Jancis
Robinson have teamed up to combine their unrivalled talents. Together they
have created the fifth edition of this masterpiece, making it the most
thorough and expansive revision ever of the work. In keeping with the
Atlas's reputation for cartographic excellence, all 148 maps from the
fourth edition have been completely revised and modernised, with an
additional 30 new maps. Hailed by Decanter as Wine Book of the Millennium,
The World Atlas of Wine has been described by critics worldwide as
'extraordinary' and 'irreplaceable'. In this, its fifth edition in 30
years, it remains an essential addition to every wine-lovers or
professional's library.

Reviews

This is a superb book! Written by two of the world's leading wine
writers, one English and one Australian, it provides a scholarly yet readable account of
how nature, art and science combine to make the wonderful diversity of wines there are in
the world today. Possibly the greatest strength of this book is its balance between the
old and the new, technology and tradition and respect for both art and science. Reading
this book is a great pleasure, partly because it is beautifully illustrated and laid out,
but also because it is well written and highly informative.
