In 1998 the year he published the author’s Christie’s World Encyclopedia of Champagne & Sparkling Wine was the only book on wine to be recognized as a leading book in the UK National newspaper (The Guardian 14 Oct 1998) and he also published in the very first instance the 17th century document that proved that the English utilized an additional fermentation to transform still wines to sparkling wines at about six years before Dom Perignon arrived at the Abbey of Hautvillers nearly 40 years prior to that French assert that the sparkling Champagne was created.

Stevenson is also regarded as one of the world’s leading experts on Alsace wine. In 1987 he was elected a confrère oenophile of the Confrérie Saint Etienne, when he was the sole person amongst the Alsace wine producers and other experts present to identify a 50-year-old wine made from Sylvaner. In 1994 Stevenson’s 600-page The Wines of Alsace won the Veuve Clicquot Book of the Year award in the USA and caused Malcolm Gluck, then wine correspondent of The Guardian, to declare that “It is not simply the best book about Alsace wines ever written, or the most penetrating book about a French wine region ever written; it is the greatest wine book ever written, period”.

Stevenson is chairman of the Champagne as well as Alsace panels for the “Decanter World Wine Awards” since the beginning, and has been a judge at other important events in France, Germany, Greece, Australia and the USA. He hosts an annual Christie’s Champagne Masterclass in London every year (taking the event to Singapore once). He occasionally writes for wine-pages.com and also once threw away the entire issue of the Champagne & Sparkling Wine Guide due to it being delayed in its release. The Aromas and Flavors resource lists the active chemical components which are responsible for many aromas in wine . It has been described as being the most useful tool to define wine’s characteristics from the time when Dr. Ann Noble’s Aroma Wheel was developed by UC Davis in 1990.
