Wine Peeps is an independent wine blog dedicated to helping you get the most bang for your buck in wine. We do this through blind tastings of wine from around the world and calculations of Quality-to-Price Ratios (QPRs). We have a special interest in Washington State wines.
This week’s Wine Word of the Week is vintner.
Official definition from Jancis Robinson’s The Oxford Companion to Wine:
Vintner is the late Middle English word for wine merchant which superseded vinter. ….
The word has also come to be used for a wine producer as well as a wine merchant, particularly in North America.
Layman’s terms from Kori:
A vintner is someone who makes or sells wine.
