Updated maps, new info-graphics and fresh photography sit alongside comprehensively revised regional profiles covering the latest developments in climate, technique, fashion and regulation over the preceding six years. Dynamic emerging regions such as coastal Croatia, Kakheti in Georgia, Canterbury in New Zealand, South Africa's Swartland, Northern Virginia in the United States and Ningxia in China are covered in detail for the first time, alongside a revamped Australian map highlighting the rise of cool-climate viticulture. Beyond the regional atlas, the book also covers the ancient world and Middle Ages, the evolution of modern wine, grape varieties, and the science of wine and weather, plus practical chapters on winemaking in vineyard and cellar, oak, stoppering, and how wine changes over time. The core of the Atlas then journeys country by country and region by region — France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Greece, North America, South America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Asia — pairing rigorous cartography with clear, readable commentary. It is this rare combination of encyclopaedic detail and genuine narrative flair that has kept the Atlas the world's best-selling wine reference for over five decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComprehensive, newly updated maps covering established and emerging wine regions worldwide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson, two of the most trusted names in wine writing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombines history, viticulture, winemaking technique and tasting guidance in one volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew coverage of fast-emerging regions including Georgia, China, Croatia and Virginia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA durable, beautifully produced hardback built for years of reference use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for wine students, sommeliers, hospitality professionals and enthusiastic home drinkers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHugh Johnson is one of the world's leading wine writers, whose best-selling titles include Wine Companion and the annually updated Pocket Wine Book.
