Hugh Johnson (born 1939) is a British writer and expert on wine. He is the world's best-selling writer on wine, with total sales of about 15 million. Johnson was a member of the Cambridge University Wine and Food Society while an undergraduate at King's College, Cambridge in the 1950s. He also received an £200 annual Keasbey bursary for "good living". He describes the moment when a friend first interested him in wine-tasting: [Adrian] came in just after dinner with two glasses and said, "Come on, Hugh. Are they the same? Or different?" …[O]ne was magic and one was just ordinary. This caught my imagination. It was my Damascus moment.[1] He has criticized highly influential wine critic Robert M. Parker, Jr. as a "dictator of taste".[2] Johnson has been writing about wine since 1960. He has written for many magazines and published several books, a few of which are listed below (see Works) and is Editorial Adviser to The World of Fine Wine magazine. He is also interested in gardening, with a particular interest in trees.
