These are just a few of the terms we call Vino Lingo: Wine words defined by the winemakers themselves. We’ve now introduced Vino Lingo Video to our podcast which will run every Thursday. For this podcast, we’ve compiled some of these common…and not so common terms used by winemakers. Listen and you’ll likely get a wine education and hopefully a laugh to boot. Enjoy!
