In all areas of work, there is specific and unique terminology, and that includes the wine industry. Several complex terms are used by wine professionals and experts in order to describe a particular flavour or acidity of wine but most of them are unknown to non-English speakers, ending up getting “lost in translation”. Wine critic Jancis Robinson created a glossary specifically to give us a hand in being able to appreciate wine with a more refined and accurate language. Want to have a taste? Take a look.
