Revised and updated for 2008, the Oz Clarke Wine Atlas takes the reader on a 'grand tour' of the great wine regions of the world.
Fundamental to the understanding of wine is a sense of place. Knowing which country, which region, which hillside and which vineyard a wine comes from adds enormously to the pleasure of drinking it. With more than 75 spectacular, hand-painted panoramic maps accompanied by Oz's lively and opinionated prose, this highly acclaimed Atlas illustrates and explains the vital connections between the land and the wine.
‘Clarke spins word pictures on what makes wine what it is with authority, color and clarity. To read his explanation of what makes each region special is to find yourself smelling the air and feeling the rocks under your feet. It's the next best thing to being there.'
Wine Spectator
‘The big book of the year, in every sense, is Oz Clarke's Wine Atlas, in which Oz Clarke takes a fresh, and given his reputation as a populist and simplifier, surprisingly academic look at the impact the physical situation of a vineyard has on the flavour of the wines made there.'
The Sunday Telegraph
‘Clarke has judged it just right... I've never read a wine book like it.'
