"Who better to supply us with our first comprehensive historical
survey than the wine writer with the magic pen, Hugh Johnson?" -
Jancis Robinson MW Hugh Johnson has led the literature of wine in
many new directions over a 60-year career. His classic The Story of
Wine is his most enthralling and enduring work, winner of every
wine award in the UK and USA. It tells with wit, scholarship and
humour how wine became the global phenomenon it is today, varying
from mass-produced plonk to rare bottles fetching many thousands.
It ranges from Noah to Napa, Pompeii to Prohibition to Pomerol,
gripping, anecdotal, personal, controversial and fun. This new
edition includes Hugh's view on the changes wine has seen in the
past 30 years. In his Foreword the celebrated historian Andrew
Roberts writes: "The genius of The Story of Wine derives from the
fact that it is emphatically not a dry-as-dust academic history -
there are dozens of those - but an adventure story, full of
mysteries, art and culture.'
