Jancis Robinson and Julia Harding keep this book firmly practical. Robinson has spent decades explaining wine with clarity and without fuss, and that same approach shapes the dictionary: precise terms, plain language, and no mythology. Harding, a Master of Wine, brings the discipline of a careful taster and editor—definitions that hold up, updates that reflect how the wine world is changing, and an eye for what readers actually need in the moment.
