You are bidding on a large size, superb hardcover book titled The Sotheby's Wine Encyclopedia. By Tom Stevenson. This is a book from The Easton Press/DK Publishing. Bound in genuine leather. Raise the standard in wine excellence with this definitive encyclopedia of wine. A clearly organized, highly illustrated atlas that analyses all the wine growing regions of the world and charts the best wines from France to the Far East, it also troubleshoots potential wine faults. With the authority of the Sotheby's name and 350 color photos, this atlas is sure to become a seasoned classic. About the author: Tom Stevenson has been writing about wine for more than 40 years. He has won 34 literary awards, including Wine Writer of the Year three times and The Wine Literary Award, and America’s only lifetime achievement award for wine writers. In 1998, he was the first person to publish a 17th century document proving that the English invented sparkling Champagne six years before Dom Pérignon set foot in Hautvillers. This ensured his Christie’s World Encyclopedia of Champagne & Sparkling Wine also made history as the only wine book to warrant a leader in any UK national newspaper (The Guardian, 14 October 1998). In 2011 he was inducted into the New York Wine Media Guild’s Hall of Fame. He has written 28 books, the most important of which have been published internationally by more than 50 publishers and translated into over 25 languages. Additionally, he conceived and was the contributing editor of Wine Report. His Sotheby’s Wine Encyclopedia has sold over 700,000 copies worldwide. Stevenson has judged major wine competitions in France, Germany, Greece, Australia, and the United States, and has been the chair and founder of The Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championship (CSWWC) since 2014. This is a large and heavy, gorgeous book that has magnificent photography! Book is in near-fine condition. Very beautiful and collectible! Would make a terrific addition to a collection.
