Reviews
'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 oracularsource par excellence ... Information is presented in a typically academic, yet still warm and 'human' style.'Harold Heckle, The Tablet, ''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, 3.12.99 (The other book was OC Food), 'Most ambitious, most respected writing project ever - The OxfordCompanion to Wine... This is a massive overhaul. There are about 500 newentries, while more than half of the previous 3000 have been rewritten tovarying degrees by Robinson and her tean of contributors ... with the samediligent approach she adopted to the first edition, she either wrote or oversawevery word.' - Mary Dowey, The Irish Times (Dublin), 23.10.99, From reviews of the first edition:'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.
