The world's best-selling annual wine guide

Hugh Johnson's Pocket Wine Book is the essential reference book for everyone who buys wine - in shops, restaurants, or on the internet. Now in its 43rd year of publication, it has no rival as the comprehensive, up-to-the-minute annual guide.

Hugh Johnson provides clear succinct facts and commentary on the wines, growers and wine regions of the whole world. He reveals which vintages to buy, which to drink and which to cellar, which growers to look for and why. Hugh Johnson's Pocket Wine Book gives clear information on grape varieties, local specialities and how to match food with wines that will bring out the best in both.

This latest edition of Hugh Johnson's Pocket Wine Book includes a colour supplement on 'Wine Flavour: How, What, Why?'

About the Author

Hugh Johnson is the world's pre-eminent writer on wine. First published in 1977, his Pocket Wine Book sells hundreds of thousands of copies a year. His winning formula of insight, critical appraisal of the world of wine, plus valuable vintage news and wine recommendations has been often-imitated but never bettered.

With the publication of his first book, Wine, Johnson established himself at the age of twenty-seven as the most refreshing and authoritative voice on the subject. During the past four decades he has written books that have become landmarks on the subject, including his classic The World Atlas of Wine, co-authored with Jancis Robinson, his Wine Companion, first published in 2003, The Story of Wine and Hugh Johnson on Wine. In his spare time he writes about gardening from his home in London.

Buy or stick to 2019

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 November 2019

The 2020 edition includes ratings for fewer vintages of any given wine than the 2019 edition. Almost all of the copy remains unchanged, which is good if you've never bought the Guide before, but bad if you were hoping for something fresh to read. Still an entertaining and informative read. HJ turned me into a sherry fiend, and more besides.

Something's missing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2020

I love Hugh's book and this is probably my fifth edition. However, some of the ratings are missing this time. The book has a simple code for explaining whether a wine is highly rated, ready to drink etc. But some years are missing this time. For example, Calon Segur 2009, highly rated but not yet ready to drink in previous editions, is not mentioned at all this time. And it's not the only one. So a bit disappointing this year.

Love Wine? This is the book for you.

Take this book with you to everywhere you buy wine. It really helps in uncovering decent plonk on the shelves or menu and it doesn't simply extoll the ridiculous notion that "more expensive is better". Also really helps if you want to become a bit of a wine snob as it provides solid information on the worlds wine regions and what to expect from them.

An invaluable guide to annual wine buying.

The go to guide for wine information.Very compact in size yet extensive in content.It is produced annually and although it is tempting to miss buying it every year there is always something new in the edition produced each year.

Excellent, but not for a beginner ..

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 January 2020

Excellent reference book. However, it is not appropriate for the beginner: you need a basic wine knowledge to get the best out of it.
