An enophile is someone who enjoys wine, usually referring to a connoisseur. Also spelled oenophile.
Layman’s terms from Kori:
An enophile is a wine lover.

I prefer to call myself an “aficionado”.
Gary,
I don’t believe I’ve ever referred to myself as an enophile, so I completely understand your preference for aficionado. 🙂 Cheers!
