Abstract:

Wine culture is a complex phenomenon of increasing importance in modern
society, and it combines the joys of wine appreciation with the frustrations
of trying to verbally communicate sensory impressions. While wine appreciation
is traditionally characterized as joyously convivial in its social dimension,
sensory impressions remain eminently private. This contrast explains why the
language used to represent wine, or winespeak, is the object of increasing
crossdisciplinary interest.

This book analyzes the many different forms / many of the different forms of
representing wine in present-day society, with a special emphasis on
winespeak, starting from the premise that such study demands a genre approach
to the many different communities involved in the wine world: producers/
critics/ merchants/ consumers. By combining the methodologies of Cognitive
Linguistics and discourse analysis, the authors analyze extensive real-life
corpora of wine reviews and multimodal artifacts (labels, advertisements,
documentaries) to reflect on the many inherent difficulties but also to
highlight the rich and creative figurative strategies employed to compensate
for the absence of a proper wine jargon of a more unambiguous nature.
