 Best all-around wine book; has stayed the course over years. January 24, 1999
23 out of 23 found this review helpful
Everything you need to know to get you started, to develop you, to polish you, and then to guide you to where the best wines of the world are produced. Crisply, sensibly, eruditely written. The perfect wine book; the only book I religiously update when new editions are released. Hugh Johnson is simply the best.
My "desert island" wine book. July 23, 1998
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
Over the last 30 years, I have acquired, read, reread, and meditated on many dozens of books on the subject of fine wine. This is my all-time favorite, because it illustrates so clearly the relationship between the geography of the world's most important fine wine producing districts and the resulting wines. Even in these days of high tech, much of the character and quality of wine is still determined by just where the fruit is grown. Johnson's Atlas depicts the classic regions in satisfying detail. Bravo!
a book to enjoy like fine wine July 15, 1998

Whether you are an expert or a relative new comer (like me) to the joys of fine wine, this book is packed with useful information, especially helpful to persons collecting wine. The quality of the writing, illustrations and the maps makes this a valuable reference book for wine-lovers.
The best single-volume cover-it-all wine book I know of! April 20, 1998
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
Hugh Johnson - the man whose writing has drawn more people to wine loving than anyone else I know of - has done a great job covering (in one volume!) both the essentials of wine making and wine drinking together with a detailed survey of all the important wine regions of the world. The book is stuffed with pictures, illustrations and maps.
