Anderson Kym - Porträt, Buchcover und Universität

In early 2014, Kym Anderson published the comprehensive statistical work "Which Winegrape Varieties are Grown Where? A Global Empirical Picture" (690 pages). This first edition includes a total of 1,450 grape varieties with the cultivated areas in hectares of 40 wine-growing countries with the growing regions. The main names of the varieties correspond for the most part with those given in the book "Wine Grapes" (edited by Jancis Robinson, with the two authors Julia Harding and Dr. José Vuoillamoz). However, Wine Grapes does not include those varieties for which no wine producers were found by the authors (this was an inclusion criterion). In the wein.plus Wine lexicon therefore contains considerably more varieties with more than 3,100 entries; among others also no longer cultivated and extinct grape varieties with historical significance.

In 2020, a "Revised Edition", i.e. an improved edition with corrected errors and updated vineyard area values as of 2016, was published. The scope has also expanded considerably, now covering over 1,700 grape varieties from 50 countries. Kym Anderson's work consists of many tables according to a wide variety of viewpoints. It served as the main source for the grape variety quantities in the present Wine lexicon. See also the world's top 150 varieties under grape variety and a complete list of grape variety-relevant keywords under grapevine.
