Fundamental to the understanding of wine is a sense of place. Knowing which country, which region and which vineyard a wine is from adds enormously to the pleasure of drinking it. This atlas shows where, why and how vines are grown and wines produced around the world, mapping the major wine countries and putting the wine areas in a regional and global context. It continues with thematic maps that highlight factors of soil, climate, economics and society that determine patterns of wine production and consumption.
