The World of Fine Wine

The World of Fine Wine, abbreviated WFW, is a British quarterly publication for a wealthy audience of wine enthusiasts and collectors. Originally published by Quarto Magazines Ltd, and now published by New Statesman Media Group (formerly Progressive Media International), the first issue was released in June 2004.[1] It has been described as "an up-market Decanter, with longer, more in-depth features, more credible tastings and less advertising".[2] Hugh Johnson describes The World of Fine Wine as "not a consumer magazine, but the first cultural journal of the wine world".[3]
