It has been more than a couple of years since I got a copy of Hugh Johnson's book and I made a note to get a copy of the 2013 edition, but it was only recently that I managed to get it, not one but one each in English and Chinese. The real spur to getting this and not putting it off until the 2014 edition comes out next month or so is my encountering the Chinese edition (translated locally) at the Book Fair last month. I had encountered a Chinese version some years ago, and then it was from an earlier year. I have no idea how often they make the effort to translate the book, but I would not presume it would be yearly.
Having got the Chinese edition, I set about acquiring the English one, so that I can learn more (especially about writing about wines in Chinese) by comparing the two versions. that should be an interesting exercise, and I am sure I will be sharing some of my more interesting finds in this blog as I go along.
