A classic of the wine world. This book is an excellent introduction to wine in general and to the differences between wines from different countries and regions in particular. Lots of reccommendations on wines to try as well. Full of the cutting British humor.
I'll be a bit disloyal here. I live in Spain but French wine is much better & I read Hugh Johnson's book as I get through the bottles.
Com mapas e fotografias, Johnson e Robinson analisam as particularidades geográficas, climáticas e agrícolas dos lugares onde cada vinho é produzido e como influenciam seu sabor e sua qualidade. Além disso, o 'Atlas Mundial do Vinho' não aborda apenas produtores tradicionais da bebida, como França e Itália, mas também países onde a produção de vinho não é tão famosa, como Austrália, Grécia, Canadá e até mesmo o Brasil. Nesta edição, o atlas ganha mais 40 páginas, 20 mapas e fotos de página inteira.
