5.0 out of 5 stars
Superb companion for the worldly wine drinker
This book is both informative and beautifully presented. The descriptions of the wine growing regions, grape types and regional specialties makes looking up the bottle you have just opened a treat, and the illustrations of the hills and valleys producing the best wines in the world makes you want to travel there to taste the wine at the source. Thoroughly recommened.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Not up to date
Great maps, great info, but not up to date with today's wine market. Many AOCs and DOCs that have started to produce great wine in the last 10 years aren't given their due. Go for the updated (2002) version.
If you are just looking for maps though, then the price on this book (esp. used copies) can't be beat...
