Penning-Rowsell Edmund

The English publisher and journalist Edmund Penning-Rowsell (1913-2002) is considered the doyen of British wine writers. He was a wine columnist for the "Financial Times" for over 20 years 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 in 1969 by his best-known work "The Wines of Bordeaux". It is considered to be the most profound and complete work on this region, containing producers with their wines, grape varieties, vine diseases and statistics. The sixth edition was published in 1989.

Range of activities

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 Wine Society. In collaboration with the famous wine critic Michael Broadbent, he was a wine consultant at Christie's auction house and regularly reported on the results of wine auctions.
