Synopsis

2020 JAMES BEARD AWARD WINNER JANCIS ROBINSON - 2020 JAMES BEARD COOKBOOK HALL OF FAME HONOREE "The most useful single volume on wine ever published... If I owned only one wine book, it would be this one." - Andrew Jefford, Decanter
A major new edition of this landmark wine book that has sold 4.7 million copies worldwide.
Few wine books can be called classic, but the first edition of The World Atlas of Wine made publishing history when it appeared in 1971. It is recognized by critics as the essential and most authoritative wine reference work available. This eighth edition will bring readers, both old and new, up to date with the world of wine. To reflect all the changes in the global wine scene over the past six years, the Atlas has grown in size to 416 pages and 22 new maps have been added to the wealth of superb cartography in the book. The text has been given a complete overhaul to address the topics of most vital interest to today's wine-growers and drinkers. With beautiful photography throughout, Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson, the world's most respected wine-writing duo, have once again joined forces to create a classic that no wine lover can afford to be without. "The World Atlas of Wine is the single most important reference book on the shelf of any wine student." - Eric Asimov, New York Times
"Like a good bottle of wine, you'll find yourself going back to it again and again... Perfect for anyone who has a thirst for greater wine knowledge." - Edward Deitch, NBC/today.com

"The World Atlas of Wine belongs on your shelf... The essential rootstock of any true wine lover's library. A multi-layered snapshot of wine and how it has evolved." - Dave McIntyre, Washington Post A "masterwork" and a "must-have" - Food & Wine Winner Andre Simon Award Best Drinks Book of 2019

Shortlisted for the Louis Roederer Wine Book of the Year 2020

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Hugh Johnson has led the world of wine writing in many new directions over the six decades since his first book, Wine, was published in 1966. The World Atlas of Wine, his Wine Companion (now in its sixth edition), the annual Pocket Wine Book (since 1977), The Story of Wine, following a 13-part TV series, and his memoirs, A Life Uncorked, have all been bestsellers. In 2004, Hugh was made a Chevalier of the Ordre National du Mérite by President Chirac, and in 2007, he was awarded an OBE for services to winemaking and horticulture, two of his great passions.

Jancis Robinson is described by Decanter magazine as "the most respected wine critic and journalist in the world". She is editor in chief of the award-winning JancisRobinson.com and writes weekly for the Financial Times. In addition to co-authoring The World Atlas of Wine since its 5th edition, she is founding editor of The Oxford Companion to Wine, and co-author of Wine Grapes. Jancis was the first person outside the wine trade to qualify as a Master of Wine, in 1984. She was awarded an OBE in 2003, France's Officier du Mérite Agricole and the German VDP's highest honour in 2016, and has six James Beard Awards. She also has two Lifetime Achievement Awards - from the IWSC (2018) and the Institute of Masters of Wine (2024).
