The SWURL Guide to Commonly Used Wine Terms

Wine is its own language — a vernacular peppered with foreign phrases that can often feel inaccessible and difficult to understand. To help translate, our friends at SWURL have crafted an illuminating glossary of wine terms. With over 60 clear and concise definitions and accompanying drawings, The SWURL Guide to Commonly Used Wine Terms is an excellent, overdue tool to help make wine more approachable — one which you can fit in a stocking, stash in your bag, or share with friends alongside a glass of bubbles. In this fun guidebook, acclaimed wine writer Eliza Dumais defines words like “earthy” and “cépage” with signature wit and clarity, alongside beautiful illustrations from the talented Cerise Zelenetz.
