We are pleased to welcome Julia Harding for the latest edition ofTheWorld Atlas of Wine. Join us for an evening of tasters and knowledge from an expert in her field.
Few wine books can be called classic, but the first edition ofThe World Atlas of Winemade publishing history when it appeared in 1971 and subsequent editions have ensured it remains the most authoritative, must-have wine reference work available. This ninth edition will bring readers, both old and new, up to date with the fascinating and rewarding world of wine.
To reflect all the changes in the global wine scene since the last edition in 2019, 18 brand-new maps have been added to the wealth of superb cartography in the book. The incisive text has been given a complete overhaul to address the topics of most vital interest to today's wine-growers and drinkers including the impact of climate change resulting in new wine-growing in the far north of Europe and the sustainability initiatives being explored globally.
