Wine Dictionary. Grow Your Vocabulary

Wine Dictionary is your straightforward companion to the language of wine, written for anyone who has ever felt lost in a swirl of fancy terms. It breaks down the vocabulary you will see on labels, restaurant menus, shop shelves, and tasting sheets, then explains what those words actually mean in real life. Instead of turning wine into something intimidating, it brings you back to the basics, where tradition, craft, and place still matter most.
Inside, you will find clear explanations of grape varieties, wine styles, regions, and time tested concepts like terroir, vintage, and appellation. You will also learn how tasting vocabulary works, with practical guidance on terms like body, acidity, tannins, bouquet, and finish. Each entry is designed to help you connect the word to the experience, so you can taste with more confidence and talk about wine without feeling like you need a secret password.
Whether you are choosing a bottle for a dinner table, building a small collection, or simply learning for the pleasure of it, Wine Dictionary gives you a steady foundation. It is made for quick lookups, relaxed reading, and those moments when you want to understand what the experts mean. In the end, the goal is simple: to help you enjoy wine the way it has always been enjoyed, with good sense, good company, and a little more know how.
