Johnson Hugh

The English wine author and wine critic Hugh Johnson (born 1939) is one of the most successful wine writers in the world. He is recognised as both a wine expert and a great stylist. He attended a boarding school in Rugby in the UK and studied English at King's College, Cambridge. He later worked for Vogue magazine, House & Garden. As successor to founder André Simon (1877-1970), he became editor of the magazine "Wine and Food" for several years and later General Secretary of the International Wine & Food Society.
