Review(s) from previous edition"a required reference for anyone who
is serious about wine - The New York Times
"The greatest wine book ever published" - The Washington Post
"Jancis Robinson's brilliant and exhaustive tome on everything you
ever wanted to know about the universe of wine" - from Sideways,
the novel on which the award-winning screenplay was based
"It is hard to believe that Jancis Robinson could improve upon a
work
whose first edition was so universally lauded, but indeed she has
...
The new edition is a huge compendium that covers practically
everything
you'd ever want to know about viticulture and winemaking ... The
Oxford Companion to Wine is still the preeminent basic resource for
wine lovers." - Wine Enthusiast Magazine
"This A-Z guide covers all aspects of wine, from vine density to
bottling ... Robert Parker, publisher of The Wine Advocate, calls
this "the most encylopedic" book available." - Brill's Content
"I can think of few better companions on a hazy Christmas
afternoon" - Giles Kime, Sunday Telegraph
"I would like to be given Jancis Robinson's Oxford Companion to
Wine ... it's one of those books you can keep going back to" -
Sunday Express Magazine
"The wine world's most scholarly A to Z" - The Sunday Times, Joanna
Simon
"the most impressive wine book ever published ... all wine
enthusiasts would love to have a copy." - The Sunday Tribune
(Dublin)
"a rich, enthusiastic celebration ... of the ancient people-centred
arts of viticulture." - Valentine Cunningham, The Observer
"Most ambitious, most respected writing project ever ... this is
a
massive overhaul. There are about 500 new entries, while more than
half
of the previous 3000 have been rewritten to varying degrees by
Robinson
and her team of contributors ... with the same diligent approach
she
adopted to the first edition, she either wrote or oversaw every
word." -
Mary Dowey, The Irish Times (Dublin)
"Always authoritative, she has revised about half of the 5000
entries to keep pace with the rapidly evolving wine world." - Diana
Gregory, The Independent
"The words "magisterial", "magnificent", and "indispensable", used
more
than once in a lifetime, begin to lose their potency, but both
books
deserve all these epithets and more." - The Guardian, (The other
book was The Oxford Companion to Food)
"Deliciously definitive" - The Scotsman
"My advice is to buy the second edition ... a brilliant book ... by
one of the great wine writers of our time" - The Observer
"an exhaustive and richly informed reference" - Newsday
"The Oxford Companion to Wine, edited by Jancis Robinson, is
not
just an extraordinarily well informed compendium of oenological
data, it
is a status symbol among wine 'cognoscenti', one of a handful of
"must
have" books for those who take their interest in wine that step
further
... an oracular source 'par excellence' ... Information is
presented in a
typically academic, yet still warm and 'human' style." - Harold
Heckle, The Tablet
"Beautifully illustrated, with alphabetical contributions from over
80
worldwide experts, here is everything you ever wanted to know about
the
subject, and more." - Christie Hickman. Midweek.
"Edited by a lively and distinguished wine writer, this is a
welcome addition to the Oxford Companion series." - Good Book
Guide
"far and away the best book on drink published last year." -
Times
"... the most useful book on wine ever written; it is also one of
the most enjoyable." - Kathleen Burk, The Week
"Those readers interested enough in the subject to buy the first
edition
are pretty much compelled to buy all subsequent ones, for the
knowledge
encompassed in them changes not only rapidly, but also radically."
- Paul Levy, Times Literary Supplement
"No wine-lover's bookshelves should be without" - Jonathan Ray,
Daily Telegraph
"The essential reference book" - David Baker, Financial Times
"Wine anoraks will want Jancis Robinson's revised, encyclopaedic
The Oxford Companion to Wine." - The Times
"Impressive Scholarship" - The Times
"Essential reference guide" - Daily Express
