Dear Colleagues,
How do you say in English the person who works in a winery? Is he a winer?
Thanks ,
Imola

a vintner. Definitely not a winer (which sounds like whiner, which no one wants to be known as) Winemaker also works. Bruce |

Vintner, much more latin like, not that much English.
Think of Vintage wines - that �s what a vintner does - prepares, selects, smels, tastes ( Oh God ) , probably I am speaking of some other different tasks.... not sure at all. I am not an expert, I only drink them, do not select the vines....

I live in a wine producing area. We use the word winemaker. A vintner is a winemaker or a wine merchant: Extra information: Also (and I only know this word because it came up in a cryptic crossword), the science of winemaking is called oenology, giving us the word oenologist. Viticulture is the growing of grapes, giving us the word viticulturist.
