THE WORLD ATLAS OF WINE
A “COMPLETELY REVISED EDITION” of this lavish book by Hugh Johnson. It covers all the wine regions of the world with numerous colour photographs and large scale maps showing individual vineyards. It is not just an atlas but includes everything you need to know about wine!
From grape varieties, cultivation, harvesting, pressing, fermenting and bottling etc. It describes the wines from many hundreds of vineyards. It is considered to be the “Wine Bible” by winemakers, negociants, wine merchants and connoisseurs.
This is what a leading magazine had to say about the book:- “Since it was first published in 1971 this book has sold over 4.7 million copies. 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”. Since this review it has now sold over six million copies!
A hardback volume with original gold dust jacket from Mitchell Beazley Publishers. 288 pages and is 24cm by 30cm. Price new £50!
