 WHAT THEY SAY

Tom Wark on fermentation.typepad.com:

 

I've revisited The World of Fine Wine magazine of late and come away still believing that for the wine collector, the connoisseur, the Europhile, the wine investor or for those who crave forceful opinion about wine and the wine world couched in carefully rendered prose, this is perhaps the only publication you need.

 

Editor Neil Beckett never fails to round up an extraordinary crew of writers for the quarterly issues of The World of Fine Wine. The line-up of writers, while somewhat overwhelmed by Brits, is always impressive. Issue 27 alone delivers up Jasper Morris MW, Stephen Brook, Rod Phillips, Mike Steinberger, Hugh Johnson, Andrew Jefford, Tom Stevenson, David Schildknecht, Gerald Asher, and Michel Bettane, and more-all between two very heavy stock covers.

More than anything else, what distinguishes issues of The World of Fine Wine is a seriousness that is a step above that delivered by more mainstream wine publications. It's that level of commitment to the subject that is two steps above "enthusiast" and one step above "geeky". I love it.

I can't recommend The World of Fine Wine enough.

 

Essi Avellan MW, Editor of FINE Champagne Magazine:

The vision and intelligence of the Editor Neil Beckett is present on every page of the magazine. The World of Fine Wine invites an impressive portfolio of specialists to contribute to it, making it the ultimate media of discussion and source of information on all important fine wine topics.

François Mauss, founder-president of the Grand Jury Européen:

In the world of wine communication, far too many newspapers and specialist reviews struggle to maintain their independence of the advertisers who make them viable. This makes it necessary to underline the highest editorial standards of The World of Fine Wine . As well as offering complete freedom of expression and opinion to the prestigious writers whose services they secure, the editors manage to strike a remarkable balance of coverage on the many different subjects they treat, in a completely impartial spirit. If one had to describe this sumptuous review in one word, it would be: indispensable.

Mark Solms, neuroscientist and owner of Solms-Delta, Franschhoek:

If you, or those who want to control your life, have ever asked why you squandered your education and earning potential on something as trivial as the world of fine wine, then The World of Fine Wine is the magazine for you! This magazine is something truly, madly, deeply special. Could it be true that such an intelligent magazine actually exists in this day and age? I keep expecting the bubble to burst, but it hasn’t yet. This highly original magazine is lovingly put together by some original, kind, wise and good people. So if you want to read an almost-perfect quarterly before you die, subscribe quickly to this one.

 

The World of Fine Wine's award-winning editorial team is led by Hugh Johnson OBE, Andrew Jefford, and Neil Beckett
