Summary
2020 JAMES BEARD AWARD WINNER
JANCIS ROBINSON - 2020 JAMES BEARD COOKBOOK HALL OF FAME HONOREE
"The most useful single volume on wine ever published。。。 If I owned only one wine book， it would be this one。" - Andrew Jefford， Decanter
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。 This eighth edition will bring readers， both old and new， up to date with the world of wine。
To reflect all the changes in the global wine scene over the past six years， the Atlas has grown in size to 416 pages and 22 new maps have been added to the wealth of superb cartography in the book。 The text has been given a complete overhaul to address the topics of most vital interest to today's wine-growers and drinkers。
With beautiful photography throughout， Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson， the world's most respected wine-writing duo， have once again joined forces to create a classic that no wine lover can afford to be without。
"The World Atlas of Wine is the single most important reference book on the shelf of any wine student。" - Eric Asimov， New York Times
"Like a good bottle of wine， you'll find yourself going back to it again and again。。。 Perfect for anyone who has a thirst for greater wine knowledge。" - Edward Deitch， NBC/today。com
"The World Atlas of Wine belongs on your shelf。。。 The essential rootstock of any true wine lover's library。 A multi-layered snapshot of wine and how it has evolved。" - Dave McIntyre， Washington Post
Winner Andre Simon Award Best Drinks Book of 2019
Shortlisted for the Louis Roederer Wine Book of the Year 2020

Reading this cover-to-cover was an undertaking， but it was such a great book。 More so intended as a resource， I’m glad to have read it all。

Too many political remarks （surprisingly biassed） for a wine book。
Gatis Kleinbergs

Brilliant book for wine lovers！ Definitely recommending for thous who want to find out some extra information about wine regions。

Good high level overview of the world of winemaking。 Includes info on climate， soil， grape varieties， viticultural and viniciultural differences， and producers。 It's great for casual reference or a coffee table book， but if you're a student， I recommend subscribing to JancisRobinson。com， as this is kept up to date with all current entries from the book， plus digital versions of the maps。 Good high level overview of the world of winemaking。 Includes info on climate， soil， grape varieties， viticultural and viniciultural differences， and producers。 It's great for casual reference or a coffee table book， but if you're a student， I recommend subscribing to JancisRobinson。com， as this is kept up to date with all current entries from the book， plus digital versions of the maps。 。。。more

The big boy of wine books。 You can spend hours gazing at the maps and picturing yourself strolling through vineyards from Burgundy to Napa。

Very informative！ I find myself returning to this book weekly。 The book itself is "pretty" enough for a coffee table。 A MUST for wine lovers！ Very informative！ I find myself returning to this book weekly。 The book itself is "pretty" enough for a coffee table。 A MUST for wine lovers！ 。。。more

Love the detail in this book。 You can look across the world to see the very plot or field that the grapes grew to make the wine you are currently drinking。

I've recently finished， for the second time around， the 7th edition。 On my book shelves I've most of the other editions going back to the first， which I read in the 1970's， when I first became interested in wine。 Little did I know then， that I'd end up making a career out of commercial wine buying！ Tasting Notes Of all the books that I've read on wine， this remains my favourite general reference work。 Brilliant maps， charmingly written， beautifully presented。 I've recently finished， for the second time around， the 7th edition。 On my book shelves I've most of the other editions going back to the first， which I read in the 1970's， when I first became interested in wine。 Little did I know then， that I'd end up making a career out of commercial wine buying！ Tasting Notes Of all the books that I've read on wine， this remains my favourite general reference work。 Brilliant maps， charmingly written， beautifully presented。 。。。more

Non è possibile parlare di vino senza anche una solida base geografica。 È in questo senso che due tra i critici del vino più famosi al mondo – entrambi inglesi – hanno ormai tantissimi anni fa redatto un volumone （aggiornato da poco） che offre una panoramica sulle caratteristiche di tutte le maggiori regioni produttive。 Un atlante molto anglosassone per impostazione， forse un filo didascalico in alcuni passaggi ma capace di riportare uno sguardo particolarmente completo al mondo del vino。 Sempli Non è possibile parlare di vino senza anche una solida base geografica。 È in questo senso che due tra i critici del vino più famosi al mondo – entrambi inglesi – hanno ormai tantissimi anni fa redatto un volumone （aggiornato da poco） che offre una panoramica sulle caratteristiche di tutte le maggiori regioni produttive。 Un atlante molto anglosassone per impostazione， forse un filo didascalico in alcuni passaggi ma capace di riportare uno sguardo particolarmente completo al mondo del vino。 Semplicemente immancabile。Da qui: http://www。intravino。com/grande-notiz。。。。 。。。more

Der wohl beste Weinatlas unter allen Weinatlanten！ Durch meine Berufsausbildung und mein Interesse an Wein， kam ich wohl nicht um ein Buch dieser Art herum。 Detaillierte Beschreibungen verschiedenster Anbauregionen weltweit， deren Besonderheiten und weltbekannte Weingüter mit ihren Spitzenweinen。 Nur zu Empfehlen！Seit neustem ist Auflage sieben erhältlich ;-）

Jancis Robinson's The World Atlas of Wine remains unsurpassed as the encyclopedia for oenophiles。 It includes everything you'd need to know on the top-league wine regions while boasting stunning， pioneering cartography as applied to wine。 The wealth of information and the manner in which it is delivered ensures its place as a perennial classic。 Jancis Robinson's The World Atlas of Wine remains unsurpassed as the encyclopedia for oenophiles。 It includes everything you'd need to know on the top-league wine regions while boasting stunning， pioneering cartography as applied to wine。 The wealth of information and the manner in which it is delivered ensures its place as a perennial classic。 。。。more

Il mio regalo di San Giuseppe。 Non posso che essere contento。

Provides a good understanding of the history of wine， its marketing biases based on the French term terroir。 It does not provide too much in terms of practicalities of the process of wine production。

Great intermediate wine reference。

wonderfull and very good winebook

This is a great reference work。 The 4 stars reflects the fact that while I like the style of many of the maps， some leave a little to be desired as far as readibility is concerned。

Great work and reference for wine。 Anyone who is interested in wine should have a copy。

I have 3 editions of this atlas， incl the 1971 first edition。 It has been reviewed 5 times and is the most comprehensive summary on wines around the world。 Love it！
