Atlas mundial del vino

The first edition of the World Atlas of Wine made history in the publishing world in 1971, the date of its publication. For the first time, the clarity and precision of exquisite cartography combined with wine and its pleasures in one volume. It offered a unique graphical guide to known and unknown tag names; the relationships between vineyards, towns and their landscapes, their terroirs, became evident and memorable. With the evolution of wine over more than half a century, improvements in quality, and improvements in the fundamental "sense of place," maps offer more information than ever to anyone interested in understanding its essential intricacies. The result: the book has been translated into 15 languages, has sold 4.7 million copies, and is considered the most authoritative and essential guide to the geography of wine in existence.
