wine words
the stuff on our labels, in plain english. one a week.
bottled before it finishes fermenting, so it makes its own fizz. cloudy, a little wild, open over a sink.
white grapes left on their skins, like a red. that's orange wine. tea, apricot, a bit of grip.
nothing added, nothing taken away. not even a pinch of sulfur. keep it cold.
