    World Atlas of Wine

    Their words

    The World Atlas of Wine has unrivalled maps. Hugh did a fantastic job, the real spadework, of getting some top quality maps of the world's classic wine regions and many of the new ones. The original editions had Hugh's matchless prose, trying to encapsulate the spirit of each region in surrounding texts, but the maps are the thing, and some photographs.

    Pocket Wine Book

    Their words

    I take my hat off to Hugh. This is one wine reference book that I have nothing to do with, and it is absolutely brilliant. It's very small—although, of course, it's been getting bigger and bigger as the wine world has expanded—and it does pack a heck of a lot of information.

    The Complete Bordeaux

    Their words

    It is not dry and scientific. I don't think Stephen is particularly interested in science. It's got lots of value judgements, and it is a good solid read.

    Thirsty Dragon: China's Lust for Bordeaux and the Threat to the World's Best Wines

    Their words

    This a journalistic book, a very sound bit of journalism by Suzanne Mustacich. She is based in Bordeaux, but she clearly travelled to China an awful lot and unravelled a most amusing commercial battle that went on in the early years of this decade between the Bordeaux chateau owners and merchants on the one side and Chinese business people on the other.

    The Juice: Vinous Veritas

    Their words

    I've chosen his third collection of writing about wine, The Juice. They're all fun. They're all very well written because Jay is a very good writer, and doesn't take it too seriously.

    Inside Burgundy

    Their words

    There's a very good book on Burgundy called Inside Burgundy by Jasper Morris, which is really nice and beautifully designed as well. I would certainly recommend it to anyone.

    The Wines of Bordeaux

    Their words

    He was chairman of the Wine Society and wrote a fantastic book called The Wines of Bordeaux, which was an increasingly thick Penguin paperback.

What is a korrent?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.

Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
