Since the publication of The World Atlas of Wine in 1971, co-authored with Jancis Robinson, Johnson has been instrumental in popularizing wine knowledge beyond specialist circles, combining rigorous scholarship with accessible prose. His extensive career spans decades of influential books, articles, and broadcasts that cover viticulture, wine history, and tasting, establishing him as a leading voice in demystifying the complexities of wine for both connoisseurs and casual readers. Johnson’s contributions extend beyond writing; he has been a passionate advocate for sustainable viticulture and the preservation of traditional wine regions.
