Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson make an unusually effective partnership because their strengths are complementary rather than overlapping. Johnson helped teach generations of drinkers how to see wine—through geography, history, and the stubbornly local factors that shape taste—while keeping prose brisk and judgments human-scaled. Robinson, for her part, brings the rigor: the ability to impose order on a sprawling, fast-changing subject without sanding off its complexity, and to update the story as viticulture, markets, and climate realities evolve. Together they give the atlas its real authority: not just beautiful cartography, but a continually revised explanation of why the world of wine looks the way it does—and what is now changing fastest.
