Book Description
ジャンシス・ロビンソンにより1994年に出版され、世界中で称賛された初版は、独創性に富んだ本で、すぐに伝説的な地位を確立した。そして、グレンフィディック賞やIACP（国際料理専門家協会）のジュリア・チャイルド賞など、ワイン本に対して贈られる主要な賞を受賞している。また、その編集者も米国とヨーロッパで「ライター・アンド・ウーマン・オブ・ザ・イヤー」を受賞して絶賛されている。細心の注意をはらって調査された事実と、おもしろい意見やウィットに富んだ話の両方を収録した『The Oxford Companion to Wine』は、ワインの産地やブドウの品種から、生産者や鑑定家、ブドウ栽培者やテイスター、あるいは、ブドウ栽培やブドウ酒醸造学からワインの歴史まで、およそ4000のありとあらゆるワイン関連のトピックを扱う。古代から現在にいたるまでのワインの消費と生産の歴史を明らかにするこの優れた情報辞典を開けば、時とともにようやく大衆に広まりつつあるこの飲み物に対する正しい認識をさらに深めることができる。
今回、全面改定した第3版は、最新の国際的な研究を取り入れ、政治的背景やグローバリゼーション、銘柄やプレシジョン・ヴィティカルチャー（精密ブドウ栽培）、コーファーマーテーション（混醸、2種類以上のブドウをブレンドして発酵させる方法）まで、400以上の項目が追補されている。他の項目では、酵母やバレル・オルタナティヴ（オークチップで色や香りをつける方法）、気候の変化、全ワイン産地などが大幅に見直されている。原産地統制呼称ワインや認可されているブドウ品種、国別のワイン生産や消費に関する情報を含む便利なリストや統計付き。
世界の主要ワイン産地の地図や、便利な図表、美しいカラー写真付きのこの本は、他のワイン本と違い、ワインの歴史や文化、地理、科学的背景など多岐にわたる知識を提供し、親しみやすい参考書としても役に立ち、すべてのワイン愛好家がちらっと眺めたり、パラパラめくったり、じっくり読んだりすることができる1冊だ。 --このテキストは、 ハードカバー 版に関連付けられています。
内容説明
Hailed by Frank J. Prial in The New York Times as "a required reference for anyone who is serious about wine," and by Anthony Dias Blue as "one of the definitive reference books on the subject," The Oxford Companion to Wine won every major wine book award, including the Julia Child and the James Beard awards. Now, Jancis Robinson has completely revised this masterpiece, adding over 500 new entries and thoroughly updating most of the rest.
Lavishly illustrated, with over 200 black and white pictures, 31 full color plates, and 31 maps of every wine region in the world, the Companion is the only wine volume to combine science, history, geography, wine varieties, social and cultural information, and much more. Ranging from Abruzzi and armagnac to Zimbabwe and Zinfandel, from Dionysian revels in ancient Greece to today's leading wine research centers, its 3,400 alphabetically arranged entries explore all aspects of wine, including the latest advances in viticulture and enology. There are in-depth discussions of the climates and grape varieties of great wine regions of the world, and numerous biographies ranging from Dom Perignon to Robert Parker. The book discusses vintner's terms, business and legal aspects, and related topics such as distilled and fortified wines. All technical terms are fully explained, and the hundreds of useful drawings and photographs illustrate key processes. New features include a complete guide to geographical names, a vintage chart, an overview of recent wine prices and investment, and a navigation chart to the Companion.
The ultimate reference on wine and wine-making, The Oxford Companion to Wine is the perfect volume to enhance a lifetime's enjoyment of this intoxicating topic.

おいそれと読める代物でないことは想像に難くないでしょうが、以外ととっつき易いです。
日本語の参考書の類では記載されていないこと（ワインボトルの形の変遷など）が詳しく書いてあるので面白いですよ。
日本語の参考書の類では記載されていないこと（ワインボトルの形の変遷など）が詳しく書いてあるので面白いですよ。
ただし、単にワインが好きって人には厳しいです。
ソムリエなどの資格を持っていて、更に上（シニアや海外の資格）を目指す位の知識が前提としてないと読めないかも…。
それでも満点星なのは、普通の人は興味を持たない本だと判断したからです。
私自身も頻繁には開いてませんが、調べ物をするときには重宝しています♪

*The* reference for anyone who enjoys wine
2000/10/27
形式:ハードカバー|Amazonが確認した購入
Some reference books sit on the shelf, forgotten, hoping to be used someday in the future when someone has a desperate need to know how to calculate the third log value of an arctangent.
This book is as far removed from that fate as a Petrus is from a White Zinfandel!
At least once a week I have opened up this gorgeous wine tome and looked up the answer to a question, or read more about a particular wine I was enjoying. With over 3,000 entries to choose from, you can explore the ancient roots of wine in Iraq and Egypt, or learn about new vine-growing techniques winemakers are using in Washington State. The information is clearly written, well illustrated, and not overly technical.
Jancis Robinson, the editor of the tome, is well known in the industry for her knowledge and fluency in wines of all types. Combine her amazing knowledge with fantastic photographs of each wine region, and even reviews of various personalities in wine, and you have a book that you'll keep on the coffee table and actually read often! Be warned - you can lose guests in its pages for hours.
The book is great for a beginner. Confused about Beaujolais Nouveau? Want to know how a White Zinfandel differs from a Red Zinfandel? The Oxford Companion to Wine has clear, concise descriptions of all wine types, explaining their histories, their characteristics, and where they're found now.
The Companion is also a boon for experienced drinkers. It goes into the fine details of how wines are grown, and how various winemakers use different techniques to bring out the best in their particular grapes. There are maps of wine regions, and insights into what makes certain wines unique.
Great as a gift for your favorite wine drinker, but buy one for yourself, too! The book is a wonderful reference tool to have around the house. With its lovely photos of France, Italy, and Spain, it serves as a wine-lovers guide to places to visit or dream about, and wines to drink while doing so. Highly recommended as the only wine book you should ever need.

An Exhaustive (but not exhausting) Wine Reference
1999/12/17
形式:ハードカバー
The sheer breadth of what this astounding book offers is almost too good to be true. I just started out learning about wine and I wish this had been the first book I cracked open. Jancis Robinson shows her immense talent as an editor and should be commended. If you're learning about wine, this is the book to get. If you already know about wine, get it anyway. You won't reget the purchase.

The best wine reference book in existence
2000/7/15
形式:ハードカバー
As a wine industry professional and card-carrying wine geek I can say that this is the single best wine reference book out there. If you're a beginner look elsewhere, but if you're someone who needs to know the grape parentage of Huxelrebe or the history of Chateauneuf du Pape then this is the book.
