Welcome to Wine Education 101

Want to speak like a true wine critic? Here are some of the words in the wine dictionary you need to know! Let me help you break down some of the phrases used in the "wine world" in an easy way!

Red and white wine with cork screws

PAIRING

When wine meets food and creates something great.

BUBBLY

Sparkling wine.

Oak burrel, Boutes Depuis 1880, Selection M, Gerakaris

WINE

Made from fermented grapes.

ACIDIC

Usually spotted when the mouth starts to salivate. 

WHITE OR RED WINE

The major groups of wine.

DRY

A wine that is not sweet.

PINK

What I would call; the "influencer" of wines. It's not a wine darling but more of a lifestyle!

Formally known as a Rosè.

OAK

The process takes for the wine to age in oak barrels. That gives the wine a smokey or vanilla flavour.
