The World Atlas of Wine
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.After four editions of The World Atlas of Wine (Fifth Edition, Mitchell Beazley, £35), Hugh Johnson has teamed up with the wine authority Jancis Robinson, who covers most of the new ground in this guide for wine-lovers. Charting the world's vineyards and wine regions and defining the notion of terroir (what it is about a location that gives a wine its character), the new edition links the tried and tested with the terra incognita of emerging Europe and the New World. With 30 new maps and revisions of the existing 148, Robinson has come up with a blueprint of the likely premier and grand cru New World vineyards of the future – a stepping stone to a longer-term global view.
