Language is a living, evolving thing that changes to suit shifting whims and needs. That means that some wine terms become less, er, useful over time. In other words, they need to get the axe. There are so many reasons a term could be considered outdated. It might be offensive—for instance, why are some wines described as \"masculine\" and others \"feminine\"?

So, too, thinks writer-at-Large Reggie Solomon , our reviewer for a wide range of wines including those from the Loire Valley , Beaujolais , Southern Coastal Spain, Israel , Asia, and more. I caught up with Solomon to talk through terms he considers outdated in wine writing and why. Is there a guest you want us to interview? A topic you want us to cover? We want to hear from you!
