Welcome to The World of Fine Wine

"The first cultural journal of the wine world"

Hugh Johnson OBE

 
Out Now – WFW 24

"For years I have been complaining that the wine world lacked a decent journal: something that didn’t rehash the same old stories each year, or dumb down its content to attract advertisers, but instead gave its writers the space to explore complex issues, stimulate the intellect, and challenge our preconceptions. Those around me can now pull their fingers out of their ears – I have found the publication I was longing for. It’s called The World of Fine Wine and the wine world (fine or otherwise) is a far better place for its existence."

Robert Walters, wine importer, retailer, and writer. Australia
