Book Reviews of World Atlas of Wine
Book Review: almost an encyclopedia
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my third copy of World Atlas. Each one has been such a substantial improvement over the previous one that its purchase was inevitable. Great maps, witty, relevant text and the usual breath-taking photographs of wine country. (did you ever notice that no body grows wine in ugly places?)
Book Review: Poor Sonoma County Coverage
Summary: 1 Stars
While the book is very big, I felt Sonoma County California's wineries deserved more than about one page of coverage. This book seems to have a strong European bias.
If you want much better coverage of California wines, try Matt Kramer's "New California Wine" also available at Amazon.
Book Review: Spot-On
Summary: 5 Stars
the world atlas of wine is a must have for any coffee table, collection, or wine aficionado. Amazon delivered with exactly what i wanted, in great condition, and within the 2 day delivery date. (not to mention it's free two day with PRIME)
by far one of the best purchases of many with Amazon

The most comprehensive review available of wine production world-wide. In words and pictures, along with some outstanding maps, Hugh Johnson covers the history of wine making, the current techniques of growing and bottling and even gives a glimpse of the future of this intriguing culture.Book Review: Just what I was looking for!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is amazing... It is a perfect coffee table, encyclopedia, textbook, or gift for anyone that has ever picked up a glass of wine and wanted to know a little more. It has beautiful pictures and is so informative. It is a gift I wished I had actually bought for myself.
