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. Its 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. Margaret Rand has been general editor of Hugh Johnson''s Pocket Wine Book for some 15 years and now with Hugh''s retirement has taken over the hot seat. The book''s mix of personal insight and informed recommendations have made it the world''s best-selling annual wine book. Margaret Rand''s curiosity about wine started several decades ago and led her to a career of writing about wine and editing wine magazines with the occasional foray into whisky. Her books include Grapes & Wines and 101 Wines to Try Before You Die; she also writes regularly for The World of Fine Wine timatkin.com and winesearcher.com. When she''s not writing about wine she''s probably walking reading or in the kitchen cooking.
