Product Description
Hailed by critics worldwide as “extraordinary” and “irreplaceable,” there are few volumes that have had as monumental an impact in their field as Hugh Johnson’s The World Atlas of Wine: sales have exceeded four million copies, and it is now published in thirteen languages.
World-renowned authors Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson once again combine their unrivalled talents to enhance this masterpiece of wine knowledge. There are now 48 extra pages, including 17 new color illustrations, 20 new maps, and—for the first time ever—double page spreads and full-page photos in the atlas section for maximum visual impact. New World coverage has been extended for both Australia and South America; some New World regions even have their own entries for the first time, including Rutherford, Oakville, and Stag’s Leap from California; Mendoza (Argentina); Limestone Coast (Australia); Central Otago and Martinborough (New Zealand); and Constantia (South Africa). And Old World coverage has grown too, with the addition of Toro (Spain), the Peleponnese (Greece), and Georgia. It’s a truly incomparable book, and an essential addition to every wine lover’s or professional’s library.

4 out of 5 stars World Atlas of Wine   September 2, 2008
Great update to a reference work well-known among wine educators and consumers. The geographical context of the knowledge base about wine and winemaking is exceptionally well done and informative.


5 out of 5 stars almost an encyclopedia   August 22, 2008
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

This is my third copy of World Atlas. Each one has been such a substantial improvement over the previous one that its purchase was inevitable. Great maps, witty, relevant text and the usual breath-taking photographs of wine country. (did you ever notice that no body grows wine in ugly places?)




5 out of 5 stars excellent   June 22, 2008
Really better than 6th edition. I hardly encourage anyone interested in wines to buy it


5 out of 5 stars Atlas   June 1, 2008
This seems to be truly a complete Atlas on wine and locations for
finding anything you might desire in wines.



5 out of 5 stars Absolutely great   May 30, 2008
This is a must-have book for your home library. What surprised me is the cost, so low for a hardcover, high quality book like this.
