Synopsis
(This new fifth edition of the Wine Companion is the most up-to-date, comprehensive, authoritative, and easy-to-use source of information on the world's wines and winemakers. It presents a unique approach to wine procedures, combining detailed background information with practical advice on how to enjoy wine to the full. Extensively revised and updated by Stephen Brook, the book begins with an analysis of wine and how it is made, with all aspects - from vine to winery to cellar - covered in full. It explores the main grape varieties, indicating where they are grown, the wine styles they produce, and the effects of soil and climate on the character of the wine. At the heart of the book is an in-depth tour of the world's wine-growing countries and their wine regions, detailing the major producers, and revealing critical insight into the wine-growing and winemaking traditions of the estates themselves. To conclude is a practical section on enjoying wine, including how to serve and store wine, and matching wine with food. With total sales of the fourth edition at over 200,000 copies, Hugh Johnson's Wine Companion is clearly renowned for its astounding wealth of information. For the fifth edition, this information has been fully updated to include the latest developments in the world of wine. Hugh Johnson and Stephen Brook Provide refreshing insight into wine, leaving few questions about the subject unanswered - this is a true companion indeed)

About the Author
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, and The Story of Wine. In his spare time he writes about gardening from his home in Essex. Stephen Brook is a leading writer on wine and gastronomy. His previous books include Sauternes, The Wines of Germany, and The Wines of California, which won the Prix Lanson, Glenfiddich and Veuve Clicquot awards. He is also the author of Pauillac and Bordeaux: People, Power and Politics, which won the Veuve Clicquot and ICP awards. He also revised the lastest edition of Hugh Johnson's Wine Companion in 2009.
