Editorial Reviews: 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.

Sanchez simply outstanding, in every way....very complete and detailed and the best book on wine i have seen, ever The World Atlas of Wine: Completely Revised and Updated, Sixth Edition (World Atlas of Wine) March 25, 2008 R. T. Ziegenfus (Los Angeles, CA) I discovered this book while visiting Burgundy last year. It was part of the limited offerings available near the Hospice. Considering the size of the book, I decided to wait until I returned to the USA to purchase it. The book offers a detailed review of everything from how wine is produced to the details of each terroir around the world. I believe this book is a must have for wine enthusiasts. Thanks for the purchase March 18, 2008 Andrey Efimov I looked the book through in my friend's house long ago but could not read: this was Dutch edition. Now, I wanted to have this excellent book at hand in my home and in a readable form. To my great satisfaction, the book became even more rich in content and maps. So, I am happy to have now a possibility to locate not only any of my favorite wines but also wines new for me with which I got acquainted just recently. Excellent book February 8, 2008 Mark (Boston) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful Whether you want to become an expert, or your are just interested in wines this is a great book. Very well written, easy to read and remains useful as reference material
