The World Atlas of Wine, 8th Edition (Παγκόσμιος άτλας του κρασιού - έκδοση στα αγγλικά)

The World Atlas of Wine, 8th Edition

Few wine books can be called classic, but the first edition of The World Atlas of Wine made publishing history when it appeared in 1971. It is recognized by critics as the essential and most authoritative wine reference work available. This eighth edition will bring readers, both old and new, up to date with the world of wine.

To reflect all the changes in the global wine scene over the past six years, the Atlas has grown in size to 416 pages and 22 new maps have been added to the wealth of superb cartography in the book. The text has been given a complete overhaul to address the topics of most vital interest to todayʼs wine-growers and drinkers.

With beautiful photography throughout, Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson, the worldʼs most respected wine-writing duo, have once again joined forces to create a classic that no wine lover can afford to be without.

The Atlas is renowned for its superb cartography and this seventh edition has 215 unique maps. Dynamic wine regions such as coastal Croatia, Khaketi in Georgia, Canterbury in New Zealand, Swartland in South Africa, Northern Virginia in the US , and Ningxia in China are examples of just some that are covered in detail for the first time. Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson, the world's most respected wine-writing duo, have again joined forces to create a classic that no wine lover can afford to be without.
