When The World Atlas of Wine was first published in 1971, the French supreme authority for wine classification (INAO) proclaimed it a major landmark in the literature of wine. The Sunday Times pronounced it 'one of the very rare books which manages to be both authoritative and poetic'; The New York Times thought 'it might even help Bacchus find his way around the vineyards' and The Times predicted it would be the wine book of the decade. This is the revised edition of that remarkable book, which in fulfilling its promise has sold more than 600,000 copies in nine languages and become the standard work of reference for laymen and connoisseurs.
