Salem: The book is not only informative but it's richly illustrated. It can be overwhelming for beginners, but if you've been bitten by the wine bug this is a mandatory book to know your wine because the wine is extremely linked to the place it was "born and raised". It even helps with your tasting when you know things like subregions, altitude, climate and soil.

Steve Z.Steve Z.: Why are so many people marking the review that roughly said the “pictures are small & Jancis’s prose is neutered” as helpful? It’s completely untrue.
They described themselves as having bought a first edition Wine Atlas in the 70s, which is probably why people thought it was credible. I don’t know if it’s a sense of nostalgia or diminished eye sight, but the Atlas is a huge book, and they haven’t gone and filled it with small pictures.
I’ve included a picture of a page I opened to randomly—burgundy. Note the tape measure. Note, too, that this is an overview province; each region within gets its own, equally huge, map.
The prose, also, is lively and engaging, while being more detailed than “windows” or “wine bible.”
Ignore that other review. I’m only writing this response because they had me on the fence, but when the book arrived, I could tell in the slightest what they were on about.

Alastair Mac Pherson: If you are planning to do level 3 WSET course I seriously recommend this book, but if you are interested in wines you can gain a tremendous amount of knowledge.
Documents how vineyards are built, how wine is processed, and good detail on all the different countries producing wine.
