The fifth edition of this remarkable book, created by renowned authors Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson, surpasses its predecessors in its comprehensive exploration of global wine production. Spanning 350 informative pages, it details wine regions from Vancouver Island to Japan, where vines were first cultivated over a millennium ago. The book begins with an extensive introduction covering the history, production, storage, and enjoyment of wine. Each wine area is then examined, starting with France and Burgundy, highlighting geography, climate, preferred vines, and the laws and traditions that shape production. For instance, a concise page on Pomerol provides significant insights. Since the fourth edition in 1994, the wine world has undergone substantial changes, prompting a complete reworking of many sections, particularly in South America, Canada, Southern France, Italy, Greece, Eastern Europe, and the Eastern Mediterranean. The regional maps are exceptionally clear, enhancing the book's utility. This work stands as a brilliant achievement in organization and synthesis, serving as an essential resource for any wine enthusiast eager to understand the origins and flavors of the wines they enjoy.
