Saying Wine Words | Pronunciation Guide A to Z 

So nice of you. TY very much 🙏🙏😊👍🥂

My pleasure 😊 ty 👍🥂

Hello Isabel 👋

Hope you’re having a wonderful day

Perfect! Thank you for your kind note! Cheers 👍🥂😊

Sorry I missed your comment earlier Kacy! Glad it's useful. Sorry to hear you're getting some grief from management. I think it's good you know what you're talking about, and try to educate others too. Of course, you want your customers to understand too, and not sound too snob, but I think if you know what you're talking about deeply, it's fair enough to say it the way it is said in the country of origin, especially if you've been to those countries and heard it said there, right? I personally naturally pick up on local accents when I travel, and my brain spontaneously wants to mimic it, perhaps because I'm a musician and speak 4 languages. You can probably hear left overs from my time in New Zealand in the way I speak English!? tx for stopping by mate. Keep the faith and passion alive 🥂😊🙏

What does a wine consultant do?

@@ryanwilliams5422 I consult with people about wines to buy for different occasions, alone, over dinner, etc... I love my job! There is so so much education that is constantly changing that sometimes it's hard to keep up..hahaha I do pretty well. Thank you for your reply and understanding of the importance of teaching correctly. What do they say? Perfect practice make perfect. Cheers!

Thank you so much for your kind words and support Maryanne ❤️ 🙏 😊

Oh, wow Sue! How flattered and grateful i am to read your comment. It's such an encouragement 🙏🙏🙏 tx a million, glad to hear it's useful to your group 😊👍🥂🥂🥂 have you seen my last decanting video yet ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hxFXDDifrOw.html ?

@@RU-vidJulien Yes, I’ve watched the decanting video which I really enjoyed. I’ve also watched many of your others which I plan to share with the group over the coming weeks. We love your style and the straightforward, no nonsense way you present. The videos are just the right length to show over Zoom and still allow us to have a good wine-related discussion before the conversation veers off onto less liquid topics 🤣 Last week I showed your ‘How Champagne is made’ and everyone found it interesting and useful (however much we may think we know, there is always something new to learn). Keep it going! Our thanks Sue

Amanda Claire Goodwin cheers Amanda. Thanks for stopping by 😊 glad to hear this was useful. I’ll probably make more of these pronunciation videos. I’m lucky enough to speak French, Spanish and Italian, so that helps. Santé Bella 🥂🙏🏻

TY Susan, thanks for taking the time to little a kind note. Much appreciated. glad to know this was useful. Cheers...

Thank YOU Hà, very kind of you to leave a quick note :-) much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers from France 🥂

@@RU-vidJulien yeah, I really enjoyed it! I've just started new job at a wine boutique as a shopkeeper for few days and kept looking for some helpful and exciting videos to learn how to pronounce name of wines and grape varieties correctly and more than that. To be honest, when I was watching your videos, I didn't know who you are :)), how good your knowledge about wine is but I could see your passion and love with wine. Well done and keep doing, Julien!

Wow Michael! This is so generous of you, I'm extremely grateful. thanks you very much for your amazing support. Loads of thoughts and prayers for you from me from France 🙏🙏🙏😊👍❤

Lol, excellent :-) Did you pick up any word you could improve the pronunciation of? Any wine word you're still wondering about I could cover in a future vid? Cheers Isaac. tx for stopping by :-)

@@Jane-gh7er You’re welcome Jane, how are you doing today?

👊😊🥂

Hi there, you found them in the 33 Burgundy Grands Crus videos, right? Or do you need anything else pronounced?

Thanks much for your kind words and support Marty 😊🙏🍷 Here's how to pronounce Mourvedre: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T5oLV6t9qqo.html Hope this works for you? Cheers!

TY 🙏🥂😀

Hello Linda 👋

Happy New Year Hope this year bring Joy and happiness to all Americans and all over the world 🌎 🥰🥰😊

I think you're absolutely right Jordi. My mistake! It's got very popular in Southern France now, but its likely origin seems to be in Spain for sure. Cheers man. Thanks for the heads up :-)

True, it depends where in Spain a little, but that's generally right. Might have slightly mispronounced this one. Tx forthe feedback 👍😃🍷

Hi Fernanda, are you enjoying your time at the winery? What are the wines you find hard to pronounce? Can I help with a video perhaps?

Julien Miquel hello julien! Yes, I’ve been working at a winery for a little over a month. Harvest is just around the corner so hopefully everything goes well. I have a hard time pronouncing Sauvignon and Viognier.

Excellent, you should have a good time. It's hard work around the harvest and what we call the 'vinification', fermentation and things, but it's very stimulating and a great opportunities to share great moments with co-workers. Have fun :-) I think Sauvignon and Viognier are in the video, right? Hope it helped. Where about do you work? What's the winery? I worked harvest in the cellars all around the world for about 10 years, from France to New Zealand, Australia, Cali, Spain and Italy. Glad you're having this experience. Take care :-)

Julien Miquel thank you! 🙂

Thanks much Stissy :-) Very kind of you. Much appreciate you taking the time to leave a kind note. have you watched my last one about the Top 100 most famous wines (published yesterday), thought you might enjoy it as well if you enjoy learning about wine? Here-> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HKt9RZE6-y0.html Merci 👍😃🍷

@@RU-vidJulien I wish I found your channel earlier... Very informative. I love the content. Am a student, in Kenya, was looking for a way to pronounce wine names then boom! Got you!🤗😀, I subscribed immediately after 1video, appreciate your work and effort, looking forward to more videos...

@@styssywalvis1027 thank you very much Stissy :-) Looking forward to continuing the journey, and to hearing from you again here. all the best with the studies. Cheers

Absolutely Alice, big part of the joy of it. See you around. Cheers 🥂😊

Hi Shannen, of course 😊 it's fairly "simple." You pronounce the T to Saint only when the name after starts with a vowel, like St Estephe, St Emilion, St Antoine. It's silent if the name after starts with a consonant, like Saint Bernard, Saint Paul... now if it's a girl, it's Sainte and the T is always pronounced (because of the e after the T that marks the feminine gender). "Simple" like French always is 😅 hope this helps 🙏♥️

@@RU-vidJulien thank you SO much! So helpful. I’ve been doing this wrong! And thank you for all of these videos. I always refer to your channel every time I am unsure of a pronunciation and it has been beyond helpful. 🙏🍷❤️

Tx Ivan. Glad you found the video useful. Not sure I follow when you say in Spanish V is pronounced like a v and not a b. Can you elaborate?

@@RU-vidJulien i mean it litrally. In se ome countries like peru, b and v sound b. But even there cava is pronounced cava and not caba. In others like chile, v is REALLYA different from b.

My tongue probably slipped, too used to hearing it, lived in NZ for 6 years where they pronounce it, I've only been back to France 4 years!

Well, it tastes good, allows you to share good moments with people, pairs well with food, gives a chance to travel the world, understand elements of science, the Earth, agriculture, culture, history.... and much more.

Hi Andrew. Why?

Julien Miquel Because it makes dreadful wines that importers keep trying to shove down consumers throats as “just like” the noble grapes you include on your list. Every 5 years or so I taste it on a restaurant list thinking things have to improve, and they never do. Just because South African producers grow massive amounts of this grape, doesn’t mean it is “important.” Smelling like paint and tasting like rusty nails.... You make room for Pinotage, but have no room for Aglianico, Albariño, Aligoté, Assyrtiko, Carignan, Carménière, Cinsault, Falanghina, Fiano d’Avelinno, Furmint, Grüner, Marisanne, Melon de Bourgogne, Mourvèdre, Negeoamaro, Nero d’Avola, Petit Verdot, Pipoul de Pinet, Sémillon, Tannat, Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Trebbiano, Verdicchio. Novices need to know how to pronounce these grape varieties ahead of Pinotage. The only reason to know Pinotage is to be able to pass it by at the store and on a list.

@@andrewyarosh1809 Hi Andrew, I see what you're saying. I've had good tasting experiences with Pinotage, but not all of them, that's true. I tend to think there' no such thing as a bad grape; just bad wines. Pinotage has become quite iconic and synonymous with South Africa when it comes to wine, for the better or the worse I guess. But I thought it was fair to include it here, if only for the pronunciation. This is not a ranking nor an endorsement, but rather important wine words to have in mind. Where I live in Languedoc, Carignan was considered a bad grape, while it can make some beautiful wines under certain conditions, old vines, certain terroirs... I'm working my way through grapes and types of wines on this channel to try and explain them all, eventually. I agree, many 'obscure' grapes are fantastic in many corner of the world and deserve more spotlights. I guess at not at this point where I can make the trends. Would I actually want to? I guess I like to talk about the best side in things from the wine world, show their bright side when they need it. I often see wines as people. Don't like bringing them down. Although sometimes you have to when they deserve it. Anyways, I guess I'd need to taste more Pinotage to get a broader view. Sounds like you've tasted many more than I have. Cheers A. Good to exchange views :-)

Julien Miquel Thanks for the lovely reply. Looking forward to more videos, including “how to pronounce” of some of the grapes on my list, since they are also difficult for many novices (I just spent 10 minutes on Sunday at the shop with a customer on “Al-YAH-nee-koh”). South Africa doing so much better with whites these days. I also understand your point about Carignanne. It was pretty brambly in the past, but we’ve had a couple of lovely examples in the past year. So maybe there can be progress everywhere.

@@andrewyarosh1809 Cool man. Yes there are some great Carignan wines, but it's generally old vines on rough terroirs. It needs a lot heat to ripen as well. So different things have to come together well for the best results. I think they use carbonic maceration on it when it's not at its best to only extract the good stuff. Absolutely, will make videos on these. It's great to have suggestions. There's so many grape names I never know where to start and what what to do next. I lived in Spain and Italy so I've heard and said these with the local accent. See you soon again here Andrew. Santé!
