William Echikson, Wall Street Journal Europe Reviews for the First Edition: 'The most exciting worldwide collection of wine maps ever.' Harvey
Steiman, Wine Spectator 'Clarke has judged it just right... I've never read a wine book

'This Atlas celebrates the new as much as the old, the
iconoclastic as much as the traditional, the courageous and crazy as much as the conservative and complacent. It is an Atlas of yesterday and today for today and tomorrow.’
Oz Clarke's Wine Atlas is
a unique approach to the world of wine.
The aim
of this Atlas is to transport you right into the heart of the world’s great vineyard areas – something that no wine book has ever attempted before. We have achieved this by
providing a grand aerial tour using breathtaking panoramic landscape maps. Here, uniquely, the reader has a bird's-eye view
of the world's top wine villages and vineyards and their surroundings as
they really are. There are no symbols or contour lines to interpret: the
vineyards are simply laid out in all their three-dimensional glory. And to
top it all there's Oz Clarke's award-winning prose.
Now fully revised and updated, expanded to 336 pages, with all maps adjusted to show the very latest vineyard plantings, this new edition of Oz Clarke’s Wine Atlas takes the reader on
an unparalleled tour of the great wine regions of the world.
Six completely new panoramic maps offer unrivalled coverage of up-and-coming new wine regions
(in Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, California, Australia and elsewhere).
Oz Clarke's Wine Atlas features:
The World of Wine – this
section puts the great vineyard areas of the world in context, describing
the world of wine today. Oz Clarke explains how the
best viticulture and winemaking are now highly
sophisticated operations, combining traditional and
ultra-modern techniques
Wines and Wine Regions
of the World – this is the core of the Atlas and through the stunning
panoramic maps looks at individual wine landscapes in detail. There
are maps not just of the classic wine regions where
viticulture has developed over centuries, but also of
the dynamic new areas that have shot to stardom
relatively recently.
Many of the larger-scale panoramic maps are
accompanied by key maps showing official wine areas, classification systems, leading wine villages and top châteaux, wineries and vineyards.
The Atlas also contains more than 70 completely updated schematic maps
(covering all the main wine-producing countries and regions of the world)
Over 160 full-colour
photographs, 20 geological diagrams and more than 250 wine labels
