Hugh Johnson is the world's pre-eminent writer on wine. First published in 1977, his Pocket Wine Book
sells hundreds of thousands of copies a year. His winning formula of
insight, critical appraisal of the world of wine, plus valuable vintage
news and wine recommendations has been often-imitated but never
bettered.
With the publication of his first book, Wine,
Johnson established himself at the age of twenty-seven as the most
refreshing and authoritative voice on the subject. During the past four
decades he has written books that have become landmarks on the
subject,
including his classic The World Atlas of Wine, co-authored with Jancis Robinson, his Wine Companion, first published in 2003, The Story of Wine and Hugh Johnson on Wine. In his spare time he writes about gardening from his home in London.
