Description
Hugh Johnson has revolutionized wine literature with his work over a 60-year career. His iconic book, The Story of Wine, is his most captivating and lasting piece, having won numerous wine awards in both the UK and USA. With a blend of wit, scholarly rigor, and humor, the book narrates the journey of wine from a mass-produced commodity to rare bottles fetching exorbitant prices today. Covering a vast timeline from Noah to Napa, Pompeii to Prohibition to Pomerol, the book is gripping, filled with anecdotes, personal reflections, controversy, and fun. The new edition includes Hugh's insights on the changes in the wine industry over the past 30 years. In the Foreword, renowned historian Andrew Roberts praises the book for its unique approach, highlighting that it is more of an adventure story filled with mysteries, art, and culture rather than a dry academic history.
