Abstract
According to Esther Mobley, wine writer of the San Francisco Chronicle, and other speakers at the 2021 Professional Wine Writers Symposium, the language of wine is broken. Accusations of classism, Eurocentrism, colonialism, racism, sexism and being exclusionary are levelled against it. This paper will review the difficulties of describing wine in English, the movements between differing styles of describing wine since the early twentieth century and the above accusations. It will also consider whether the language of wine is, in fact, broken.
