“...While these are all real terms and expressions taken from real reviews, many are just plain baffling. Particularly some that seem to be more about hygiene rather than wine...”
A VINOUS THESAURUS OF (GASP!) 36,975 BIZARRE, EROTIC, FUNNY, OUTRAGEOUS, POETIC, SILLY AND UGLY WINE TASTING DESCRIPTORS

But do you always know what they mean? If not, you are in for a treat because there’s no other book in the English-speaking world quite like this. The author, a lifelong lover of both wine and words, has compiled this unique thesaurus of 36,975 wine tasting descriptors into 20 special collections extracted from 27 categories so you can locate exactly the right term or phrase to express yourself clearly or to understand others.
