Synopsis
Full-color maps take you on a journey of discovery from one end of the wine-producing world to the other, for it is geography that determines a wine's character, and to understand a wine you must understand the land that gave it life. Here, in remarkable detail, are the features of the great vineyards of the world, from the ancient ones of France, Italy, Germany and other European countries to the new ones of California, South Africa and Australia. Elevations, watercourses, woods, roads, buildings, farm and woodland tracts, and the contours of hills and valleys are all clearly shown, for the great evocative names - Burgundy, Champagne, Beaune, Madeira - signify both wines and places.
