(5 stars) - Just what I was looking for!
This book is amazing... It is a perfect coffee table, encyclopedia, textbook, or gift for anyone that has ever picked up a glass of wine and wanted to know a little more. It has beautiful pictures and is so informative. It is a gift I wished I had actually bought for myself.

(5 stars) - Excellent book on wine
This is an excellent book for both the novice wine lover as well as the more sophisticated one.

(5 stars) - Stunning Beauty
As someone who appreciates wine and always wants to learn more, I have learned the importance of geography as it applies to wine making. The more I learn about wine and geography, the more I understand the flavors and textures that I experience when tasting. The World Atlas of Wine has helped me to close the knowledge gap (as much as can be possible with a commodity that is constantly evolving).

From a purely aesthetic angle, the book is outstanding. It is cloth bound and the pages are glossy yet readable. The full color photographs are numerous, the maps are useful, the labels plentiful, the text is formatted like an encyclopedia. It looks lovely on a coffee table and that's where you should keep it. Out. Where you and your guests will reach for it.

The content is something you can read about from the other reviewers so I won't be able to say anything new. But I would like to summarize that it has a good section about wine making that you can read as you would any text - in order. Then the rest of the book is broken up into regions and sub regions in a well organized manner. You can peruse that part of the book in whatever order you like. The index is thorough. And I can't say enough about how useful I find the maps to be.

I do wish there was more New World content but I feel that is a minor complaint considering how much higher I regard the usefulness of this book to the others in my wine collection.

(5 stars) - The World Atlas of Wine
I bought this book for my cousin's 60th birthday. She lives in Tacoma (I'm in AZ) and she owns a wine shop. Her husband and her love to discover different wines throughout the world that they can introduce to their patrons. Upon receiving her present, she immediately called me with an enthusiastic THANK YOU!! She LOVES this book.
I know this book must be terrific if she says it is so!
I am looking forward in visiting her this summer and i look forward in seeing The world Atlas of Wine myself!
