Penning-Rowsell Edmund

The English publisher and journalist Edmund Penning-Rowsell (1913-2002) is considered the doyen of British wine writers. For over 20 years he was a wine columnist for the Financial Times and also wrote wine articles for the communist newspaper Marxism Today. In 1967 he published the wine primer "Red, White and Rosé, a wine primer", followed by his best-known work "The Wines of Bordeaux" in 1969. It is considered the most profound and complete work on this region, including producers with their wines, grape varieties, vine diseases and statistics. It saw its sixth edition in 1989. Penning-Rowsell specialised in Bordeaux wines and visited the Bordeaux vintages and the Hospices de Beaune auction in Burgundy every year. In 1991, "Château Latour: the history of a great vineyard 1331-1992" was published. From 1964 to 1987 he was chairman of the British buying association Wine Society.
