Wine publicist Hugh Johnson is expected as guest of honour at the 20th VieVinum wine fair in the Vienna Hofburg from 9 June 2018. This was announced by the organizer. Johnson is considered one of the most famous and renowned connoisseurs of the international wine scene. His wine guide "Der kleine Johnson", published annually by Hallwag-Verlag in Germany, is the world's best-selling wine book. With his first book "Wine" (1966), which was already published in German, Hugh Johnson established himself among the leading wine publicists at the age of only 27 years. Many other publications followed, including "The Wine Atlas", whose revised new edition was produced in collaboration with Jancis Robinson, and "The Great Johnson".
Hugh Johnson received many honors for his publications: Most recently, in 2015, he was awarded the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award 2015 for his life's work by the Institute of Masters of Wine and the international trade magazine "The Drinks Business".
