NOTES

Wine appreciation is an interesting semantic field, because its lexemes are largely figurative applications from other fields.

Terms which we would normally associate with music, textiles, food, physique, personality, morality, and behaviour rub shoulders with terms from colour, chemistry, botany, and nutrition.

Because the topic is so subjective, the lexicon plays a critical role.

The relationships between the lexemes define the contrasts of taste which the wine enthusiast seeks to identify.

To learn about wine is first to learn how to talk about wine (M. Broadbent, 1983).
