Jancis Robinson Wine Tasting for The World Atlas of Wine

We are absolutely delighted to welcome one of the world's most respected wine critic and journalist, Jancis Robinson to lead a very special wine tasting for the latest edition of a classic of wine writing.

The first edition of The World Atlas of Wine made publishing history when it appeared in 1971 and subsequent editions have ensured it remains the most authoritative, must-have wine reference work available. This ninth edition will bring readers, both old and new, up to date with the fascinating and rewarding world of wine.

To reflect all the changes in the global wine scene since the last edition in 2019, 18 brand-new maps have been added to the wealth of superb cartography in the book. The incisive text has been given a complete overhaul to address the topics of most vital interest to today's wine-growers and drinkers including the impact of climate change resulting in new wine-growing in the far north of Europe and the sustainability initiatives being explored globally.

With beautiful photography throughout, Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson, the world's most respected wine-writing duo, working with esteemed maps editor Julia Harding, have once again joined forces to create a classic that no wine lover can afford to be without.

"The most useful single volume on wine ever published... If I owned only one wine book, it would be this one." - Andrew Jefford, Decanter
