Offers a comprehensive and easy-to-use source of information on the world's wines and winemakers.
Hugh Johnson's Wine Companion presents a unique approach to wine and wine producers, combining detailed background information with practical advice on how to enjoy wine to the full. Already praised for its wealth of information, the book has been extensively revised and updated by Stephen Brook, with over 70 per cent of the content changed, to take account of the latest developments in the fast-changing world of wine, be they human, cultural, or geographic. Colour maps and photographs and detailed glossaries of the wines of each region are just two of the additions for this exciting new edition.
