Food & Wine Guru's Words of Wine Translator: English to French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Back Again. - Paperback

by Stephen Reiss (Author)

There are few pursuits more international than wine. Whether you are traipsing through vineyards in far flung locales, deciphering a label, or guiding visitors through your winery, chances are there a few wine words that are more than a little foreign to you. The words of wine change from one land to another, and not just because they are in another language. A standard transliteration would tell you that "Vin en Vrac" meant "Wine Pell-Mell" rather than the easier to understand "Bulk Wine." Each of the five languages have been painstakingly researched to find the best translations, not transliterations, for the wine world.
