Hugh Johnson is the world's pre-eminent writer on wine. First published in 1977, his Pocket Wine Book sells hundreds of thousands of copies a year. His winning formula of insight, critical appraisal of the world of wine, plus valuable vintage news and wine recommendations has been often-imitated but never bettered.

Hugh Johnson has led the world of wine writing in many new directions over the six decades since his first book, Wine, was published in 1966. The World Atlas of Wine, his Wine Companion (now in its sixth edition), the annual Pocket Wine Book (since 1977), The Story of Wine, following a 13-part TV series, and his memoirs, A Life Uncorked, have all been bestsellers. In 2004, Hugh was made a Chevalier of the Ordre National du Mérite by President Chirac, and in 2007, he was awarded an OBE for services to winemaking and horticulture, two of his great passions.

Jancis Robinson is described by Decanter magazine as "the most respected wine critic and journalist in the world". She is editor in chief of the award-winning JancisRobinson.com and writes weekly for the Financial Times. In addition to co-authoring The World Atlas of Wine since its 5th edition, she is founding editor of The Oxford Companion to Wine, and co-author of Wine Grapes. Jancis was the first person outside the wine trade to qualify as a Master of Wine, in 1984. She was awarded an OBE in 2003, France's Officier du Mérite Agricole and the German VDP's highest honour in 2016, and has six James Beard Awards. She also has two Lifetime Achievement Awards - from the IWSC (2018) and the Institute of Masters of Wine (2024).
