The World of Fine Wine is an award-winning, quarterly publication that is taking the wine world by storm. The World of Fine Wine has won accolades from every quarter: Michael Schuster, award winning wine writer and educator, admires its "authoritative, stimulating writing" while Jancis Robinson, OBE MW, likes the fact that it’s "upmarket" and "admirably serious." François Mauss, founder-president of the Grand Jury Européen, calls it "sumptuous" and "indispensable," and for Randall Grahm, owner-winemaker at Bonny Doon Vineyards, Santa Cruz, it’s "the most literate wine magazine out there."

Winner of the ArtVinum Media Award 2007 at the forum for European Wine Culture in Stuttgart, the award citation described the magazine as "By far the best wine publication on the market."

The magazine focuses on fine, expressive wines and related cultural issues. Lavishly produced, with beautiful fine art images, it is virtually advertising free, which means that over 90% of its content is devoted to wine and all thing vinous. The magazine is in its 4th year of publication, and writers include Jancis Robinson MW, Tom Stevenson, Clive Coates MW, Oz Clarke, Tim Atkin MW, Roger Scruton, David Schildknecht, Nicolas Belfrage MW, Serena Sutcliffe MW, Jasper Morris MW, Michel Bettane and Michael Broadbent MW—contributing some of the liveliest and most original writing published today—under the editorial leadership of Neil Beckett, Andrew Jefford, and Hugh Johnson.

Every 216-page issue contains a huge range of fascinating and authoritative information:

• Rigorous blind and open tastings conducted under strict rules by a world-class panel, with findings presented under a reliable and consistent 20-point ranking; these results have a special importance if you need to make rapid buying decisions on sought-after wines without a tasting.
• Perceptive and well-researched articles on a wide range of wine and viticulture topics that give you essential briefings to improve your knowledge and enjoyment. Written by acknowledged experts, the articles will excite, amuse and often make you revise your opinions.
• In-depth coverage of every aspect of fine wine: reviews of vintages, visits to vineyards, auction calendar, restaurant reviews,
profiles of well-known winemakers, reports from the growing regions, and much more to bring fine wine alive for you in a uniquely satisfying way.
