The seventh edition of the The World Atlas of Wine brings readers the very latest developments from the world's wine-growing regions, enhanced by new maps, photographs and info-graphics.

The seventh edition will confirm the status of The World Atlas of Wine as the most essential and authoritative wine reference work. Reflecting the changing nature of the wine scene, the Atlas details developments in climate, technique and fashion as well as new regulations made over the last six years. A new Australian map highlights the importance of cool-climate regions as global warming takes effect, for example, while dynamic regions such as coastal Croatia, South Africa's Swartland and Ningxia in China are covered for the first time. The world's increasing appetite for wine is matched by a growing thirst for knowledge, which this book will amply satisfy.

Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson, the world's most respected wine-writing duo, have again joined forces to create a classic that no wine lover can afford to be without.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The World Atlas of Wine has always had extraordinary scope and the seventh edition is no different...Beautifully done."―Bill Saporito, TIME Magazine

"The most authoritative wine reference book available ... with words and graphics that set a new publishing standard on the subject."
―Fred Malkin, Oregon Magazine

"The World Atlas of Wine is the single most important reference book on the shelf of any wine student."―Eric Asimov, The New York Times

"It's difficult to review 'The World Atlas of Wine' without gushing ... the 7th edition raises the bar again, primarily by maintaining its already high standard and expanding its maps and coverage of growing wine regions in China, Australia and North America."
―Joe Roberts, WineDude.com

"If I owned only one wine book, it would be this one. And this edition, please."―Andrew Jefford, Decanter

"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

"Every wine lover's bible...pouring decades of wine knowledge into succinct paragraphs that place each country and region in context."―LA Times

"It is a testament to Johnson and Robinson's heroic efforts to create a true reference volume that they have survey the world and attempted to include the major changes that have come to the different regions of the world over the past few years."
―Tom Wark, Fermentation: The Daily Wine Blog

"Simply put, there is no better wine reference book on the planet than the new, seventh edition of The World Atlas of Wine by Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. It's an absolute must for wine enthusiasts: an essential, authoritative and beautifully produced wine companion."―Ted Scheffler, Salt Lake City Weekly

About the Author

Jancis Robinson's award-winning books Vines, Grapes and Wine (1986) and the hugely successful Oxford Companion to Wine (1994, 1999, 2006), are landmarks in wine literature. Jancis is the Financial Times' wine correspondent and is critically acclaimed as the "woman who makes the wine world gulp when she speaks" (USA Today) and "our favorite wine writer" (Playboy). Jancis was the first person outside the wine trade to qualify as a Master of Wine, in 1984. She was awarded an OBE in 2003 and the Officier de l'Ordre du Mérite Agricole in 2010 by the French Minister of Agriculture.

Hugh Johnson has led the world of wine writing in many new directions over the 40 years since his first book, Wine, was published. The World Atlas of Wine, his Wine Companion (now in its sixth edition), the annual Pocket Wine Book (since 1977), The Story ofWine, and his memoir, A Life Uncorked, have all been best-sellers. Indeed, his Pocket Wine is the
world's best-selling annual wine book. His unique approach, serious and informed, yet entertaining and unpretentious, has earned him the admiration of wine lovers all over the world. In 2007, Hugh was awarded an OBE for services to winemaking.

Ditch the large price sticker on the back

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2019

Verified Purchase

Great guide to learn a little or a lot about wine. A little overwhelming when you notice its mass and number of pages but the wine world is a big place and requires a few pages to provide deep and meaningful coverage.

But whoever (whomever?) the seller please ditch the oversize price sticker on the back of the cover or at least use a pressure sensitive material that can be peeled off. First time buying something through Amazon I felt like they were worried about me shoplifting or something.

5 stars for the book, 0 stars for the seller and their price sticker

This book was a gift for somebody that truly loves wine. Every time I see him he reminds me of how great the book is and how interesting it is to read. The illustrations and maps are beautiful, so just opening the book at a random page and reading provides a very pleasant experience. This hardcover book is great to have in your personal library, or on top of the coffee table if you enjoy wine. Or if you would like to give it as a gift to someone that loves wine, you will not be disappointed!

Extremely authoritative wine atlas. It covers the history of wine, descriptions of vines and grape varieties, and wine production methods. Also, almost all of the wine growing regions throughout the world are covered in detail, with detailed maps showing important wineries in each region.

The best single general book for a wine library

The best single general book for a wine library. It still has a bias towards French wine and not enough about New World wines.

A must have for any serious wine drinker

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2014

Verified Purchase

This book is amazing. It has detailed maps of virtually every wine-growing region in the world. The maps show not only the typical geographical information of the region, but even shows the location of important vineyards and wineries in the region. It is really cool to be able to open a bottle of wine and then to see exactly where it was made! The text that accompanies each map talks about the geography and terroir and it gives and overview of the wines of that region. Highly recommended.

Liam Kelleher

Certainly an atlas, not quite a bible.....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 6, 2017

Verified Purchase

The plethora of 5 stars led me to believe this to be the holy grail of wine bibliography. Certainly when the book arrived, it felt weighty enough to deserve its reputation. The first 50 pages or so are a rather terse introduction into the world of wine and its production with a page or two dedicated to the various grapes of the world. However each grape simply receives a handful of explanatory notes before moving swiftly. There is not an enormity of details on the production of wine or tasting that would transform one into an aficionado (to be fair the only way to do that is the drink a lot).

In the books defence, it does what it says on the tin. It is an atlas and hence is a detailed look into the regions which produce the wine. In my defence, I admit I had expected more detail giving such glowing reviews. A beautiful book, but one that will cast aside on the coffee table in lieu of my bedside table.

Deserves its classic status but I sometimes struggle with the maps

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

There is no doubt that this is a classic wine reference book, and it is very helpful for my WSET Diploma. The info is thorough and the text is informative. (Also, delightfully, the text doesn't contradict the Oxford Companion, so the two are a pleasure to use at the same time. Yes I know HRH Jancis is involved in both, so perhaps I shouldn't be surprised, but it's still impressive given the scope of the undertaking. There's little worse when studying than having reference materials that contradict one another.)

I've knocked off one star because of the maps. It might be churlish to complain about this in a reference work, but I find many of them too detailed and therefore difficult to use. All the information is there, don't get me wrong, but I can stare at the maps for a while and still struggle to get a real "feel" for the topography and its connection with the wine itself. I understand that space is a premium, and that this is probably the only way to include all the information the authors want to, but I can't help harking back wistfully to an old Oz Clarke Wine Atlas that I used to own, whose "3-D" maps were an absolute delight, and which gave me that link between topography and wine far better.

Recommended to me by an experienced wine taster

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 6, 2014

Verified Purchase

It's a really good book. I have been wine tasting for about a year and a half, however I have only started to take it seriously and really want to improve for about 6 months. I asked one of the guys at my wine tasting group who has been wine tasting for a little over 20 years, if he'd recommend any books, he recommended this. I later asked my wine merchant who agreed. I'm not a total novice, but neither am I an expert. I found the tone of the book, and the style of writing really helpful. The book is not so expert I find it hard to enjoy, and not too basic to make it boring. It's pitched very well for someone like me. The first 40 or so pages are general information on wine making, terroir, grapes etc. Then it moves on to the atlas section, with comments on the region, lot's of data and the like. It's a great book and I am enjoying it.

I cannot write a review except to say to you what my son said to me: (He has 2 graduate degrees): Mom, it is a beautiful informative book and I am reading it now instead of the last of Teddy Roosevelt series.
As those 2 degrees would indicate that he has maintained his brain in working condition, I would assume that the book must be really OK in every aspect. I hope this counts as enthusaism for something I have not seen, but am delighted with the enthusiasm which bubbled up north.
Also he told me it arrived in perfect shape and earlier than expected. HOpe this is useful. GK
