5.0 out of 5 stars
The most beautiful wine book I ever read (and Ive read many)
A real masterpiece (and an obvious work of love)! Combining extensive research and scholarship with wit and eloquence, the book traces wine and wine making from ancient times to our day. It is both the "Story of Wine" and the history of wine. The story is told in the context of its geographical, cultural and technical background. Exquisite pictures and maps...

It has aged but, not too well
If you are interested in the history of wine it is a fine and interesting book. It was published in 1989 and the wine world has changed it needs to be revised. It does a poor job on wines of the new world; still it is a book worth reading.

Companion text to Hugh Johnson's entertaining and enlightening video series from the late 1980s. Great history and facts on the origins, regions, and development of wine.
