Our
wine pronunciation glossary
of wine names and wine-related
words includes a brief description
of each term and phonetic
spelling.
You don't need to speak
French, German, Italian
or Spanish to help pronounce
these words. Try the phonetic
rendition. Pronounce the
separated syllables as they
are written in English.
For example, Paris is pronounced
Pair-is in English, but
in French Paris is pronounced
Pa-ree, stressing the final
syllable as is usual in
French pronunciation.
French chateau wine producers
are listed alphabetically
by the name of the chateau
and marked with an asterisk
(*). For example, "Chateu
Ausone" is listed as
*Ausone and pronounced
Ow-zo-neh.
"Chateau d' Issan is
listed as *Issan
(d') and pronounced
Dee-sahng.
