 A very good wine reference book. February 23, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The World Atlas of Wine is a reference you need to have close by when searching for information on Wine Countries and overall wine information. It has illustrations and pictures that give you an idea of wine countries. Highly recommend. This issue is 2001 I hope there will be an update soon with the latest since last publication.

The topography shown in the maps is fantastic. This is a must for intermediate wine lovers; it makes all the geography clear.

Must have for wine lovers. August 13, 2005

I met a sommelier in Italy recently who gave me several lessons about wine. The very first lesson included a hands on reference to "The World Atlas of Wine." It is a must have if you are truly interested in learning about wine. The Amazon price was about $20 less than the sommelier paid in Europe!
 Good as Drinking the Stuff January 25, 2005

This is one of the best books on the history of wine in the world. This book covers wine from its birth, and goes through to the modern day wine world. The nice thing about this book is that it is not a book that talks about all the different producers around the world and their vintages, but rather the regions around the world, and their history etc. I recommend this book, and 'Exploring Wine' for the person that wants to learn about wines role in the world throughout history. All this and fantastic illustrations and maps as well!
I received this book for my birthday [...].
