Some reader comments
From Virginia (U.S.): This book has traveled with me everywhere. The best all-around wine book, it has stayed the course over the years. Everything you need to know to get you started, to develop you, to polish you, and then to guide you to where the best wines of the world are produced. Crisply, sensibly, eruditely written. The perfect wine book; the only one I religiously update when new editions are released. Hugh Johnson is simply the best.
From Israel: Hugh Johnson -- the man whose writing has drawn more people to wine loving than anyone else I know of -- has done a great job...
From Norway: Whether you are an expert or a relative new comer (like me) to the joys of fine wine, this book is packed with useful information, especially helpful to persons collecting wine.

[Warning: results may be hilarious!] AltaVista provides a translation feature which will re-load this page in French. Machines and software are far from perfect, as you will see, because idiomatic expressions and even certain aspects of text formatting can confuse them terribly. However, at the very least, you may get a good laugh or even be amazed at what "artificially intelligent" programs can do these days!
