Have you ever read a wine review and wondered whether you needed a dictionary as well as a bottle opener?

Terms such as minerality, typicity, linear and structure appear in tasting notes all the time, yet many wine drinkers have only a vague idea of what they actually mean.

In this episode of the Vknowgeek Wine Podcast, we’re translating wine critic into plain English. We’ll unpack 10 of the most commonly used words and phrases in professional wine reviews, explain what critics are trying to communicate, and ask whether some of these terms are genuinely helpful or simply part of wine’s often confusing vocabulary.

Whether you’re new to wine or you’ve been reading tasting notes for years, this episode will help you decode the language of wine and read reviews with greater confidence.

No jargon. No pretension. Just a practical guide to understanding the words that shape the way we talk about wine.
