Empat kata yang perlu dipelajari dulu
Tanin
Rasa kering dan mencengkeram pada wine merah, seperti teh kuat. Rasa ini berasal dari kulit dan biji anggur.
Teguk anggur merah yang kuat lalu jalankan lidah Anda di atas gusi. Rasa kering dan berbulu itu adalah tanin.
Keasaman
Kesegaran yang membuat mulut berair dalam anggur, seperti rasa asam di lemonade. Ini membuat anggur tetap hidup dan cocok diminum bersama makanan.
Jika mulut Anda terasa berair setelah seteguk, berarti anggur itu memiliki banyak keasaman.
Oak
Banyak wine dimatangkan dalam tong kayu ek, yang menambahkan cita rasa seperti vanilla, roti panggang, dan rempah.
Mencium aroma vanila, roti panggang, atau kelapa? Itu biasanya berasal dari tong.
Terroir
Kata dalam bahasa Prancis untuk segala hal tentang tempat asal sebuah wine: tanah, kemiringan, dan cuaca.
Cicipi anggur dari varietas yang sama dari dua tempat berbeda, berdampingan. Perbedaannya itulah terroir.
Kata sehari-hari tentang anggur
Dasar-dasar wine →- Appellation
- Nama tempat resmi yang dilindungi secara hukum untuk wine, seperti Chablis atau Napa Valley.
- Blend
- Wine yang dibuat dari lebih dari satu varietas anggur. Red Bordeaux dan sebagian besar Champagne adalah blend.
- Tubuh
- Seberapa berat wine terasa di mulut Anda. Bayangkan susu skim untuk yang ringan dan krim untuk yang penuh.
- Brut
- Pada sparkling wine, artinya kering. Extra Brut lebih kering lagi.
- Bercita rasa gabus
- Cacat yang membuat anggur berbau kardus basah. Ini berasal dari gabus yang terkontaminasi, bukan dari serpihan gabus di dalam gelas.
- Cru
- Bahasa Prancis untuk kebun anggur atau perkebunan dengan kualitas yang diakui. Grand cru adalah peringkat tertinggi.
- Dekanter
- Menuangkan wine ke dalam kendi sebelum disajikan, baik untuk memberinya udara maupun untuk meninggalkan endapan.
- Kering
- Tidak manis. Sebagian besar wine itu dry.
- Akhir rasa
- Rasa yang tersisa setelah Anda menelan. Finish yang panjang adalah tanda yang baik.
- Non-vintage
- Perpaduan beberapa tahun, umum di Champagne. Ditampilkan sebagai NV.
- Sommelier
- Orang di restoran yang mengurus wine dan membantu kamu memilih.
- Varietal
- Anggur yang dibuat terutama dari satu jenis anggur dan dinamai dari anggur itu, seperti Merlot.
- Vintase
- Tahun grapes dipanen.
Istilah bisnis
Istilah dari sisi perdagangan anggur: pembelian, penjualan, pengiriman, dan penetapan harga. Berguna saat membaca halaman harga di situs ini.
A
Allocation
The fixed quantity of a scarce wine a producer offers to a given importer or merchant each vintage, usually at a price well below the secondary market. In Burgundy and cult Napa, the allocation itself is a valuable right.
Appellation
A legally defined wine-producing area with rules on grapes, yields and methods (AOC/AOP in France, DOC/DOCG in Italy, AVA in the United States). Fixes the supply of a named wine to a mapped area.
B
Buyer's premium
The percentage an auction house adds to the hammer price, commonly 15–25%, paid by the buyer. One of the transaction costs that a gross return leaves out.
C
CAGR
Compound annual growth rate: the steady yearly rate that would take a starting value to an ending value over the years between, (end/start)^(1/years) − 1. Corkonomics annualises only spans of a year or more.
Classified growth (cru classé)
A château ranked in an official classification — the 1855 Médoc and Sauternes lists (first to fifth growths), Saint-Émilion's periodically revised list, the Graves classification. Fixes reputation and, with it, pricing power.
D
Drawdown
The largest decline from a previous peak in a price series, expressed as a negative percentage. Describes the worst moment of holding an asset, not its end result.
E
En primeur
The sale of Bordeaux wine as futures in the spring after the harvest, about eighteen months before bottling and delivery, at a price set by the château and offered through the Place de Bordeaux. Historically a discount for early commitment; in recent campaigns often not.
G
Grand cru
In Burgundy, a vineyard site at the top of the appellation hierarchy (33 in the Côte d'Or, about 550 ha). In Bordeaux, a term used in classifications with different meanings (Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is a broad appellation). In Champagne, one of 17 villages rated 100% on the échelle des crus.
Grape Crush Report
The annual California report (CDFA / USDA NASS) of tons crushed and weighted average prices per ton by district and variety — the most transparent grape-price record in the world, and the source of Napa's grape economics on this site.
H
HTS (Harmonized Tariff Schedule)
The United States tariff schedule, maintained by the USITC. Wine is heading 2204; the base duties are specific rates per litre (6.3¢/l for still wine ≤ 14% in containers ≤ 2 l; 19.8¢/l sparkling). Additional measures by origin sit on top.
Hammer price
The price at which an auction lot is knocked down, before the buyer's premium. The seller receives the hammer less commission; the buyer pays the hammer plus premium. Corkonomics records hammer and premium separately.
Hectolitre (hl)
One hundred litres, or 133 bottles of 750 ml. The unit of European wine production and yield.
I
IEEPA
The International Emergency Economic Powers Act, cited for the 2025 'reciprocal' tariffs; the Supreme Court held on 20 February 2026 that it does not authorise tariffs, and the duties were refunded.
Imputed land cost
The opportunity cost of the capital tied up in a vineyard — its value times a cost of capital — charged per bottle. Used in the cost model because most top estates own land they never bought at market. Not a purchase price and not a cash cost.
In bond
Wine held in a licensed bonded warehouse on which duty and sales tax have not yet been paid. Trade prices are quoted in bond; the wine can be sold on without leaving. The warehouse record becomes part of the wine's provenance.
M
Monopole
A Burgundy vineyard owned entirely by one producer — Romanée-Conti and La Tâche (DRC), La Romanée (Liger-Belair). The purest case of fixed supply.
N
Négociant
A merchant house that buys wine (or grapes) from producers and sells it on under its own label or the producer's. In Bordeaux, the intermediary between château and importer, working on a margin of roughly 10–20%.
P
Place de Bordeaux
The distribution system of Bordeaux: châteaux sell to négociants through courtiers (brokers), who sell on to importers and merchants worldwide. Several non-Bordeaux wines — Opus One, Sassicaia, Masseto among them — also distribute through it.
Prestige cuvée
A Champagne house's top wine — Dom Pérignon, Cristal, Krug, La Grande Année — usually vintage, aged for years before release, and the collectible tier of the region.
Provenance
The documented history of a bottle or case: where it has been stored, by whom, since release. Priced explicitly by the market; a wine without provenance may be unsaleable at the top.
R
Real return
A return with inflation removed, so that a rise in price is separated from a fall in the value of money. Corkonomics deflates by the US consumer price index.
Release price
The price at which a producer first offers a vintage — ex-château en primeur in Bordeaux, the allocation price in Burgundy, the mailing-list price in Napa, the house price in Champagne. Recorded on Corkonomics with its currency, date and source.
S
SAFER
The French land agencies that publish vineyard prices by appellation each year (Le prix des terres). The source of French land values on this site.
Scarcity score
Corkonomics' 0–100 estimate of how hard a wine-vintage is to find: it starts from the bottles made, assumes a share is drunk every year, and adjusts for bottle size and the producer's standing. 100 means very few bottles are likely left; blank means no production figure is published. Not a rating of quality.
Secondary market
Every sale after the producer's first: merchants, auction houses and exchanges trading wine already released. Where scarce wines are priced in practice.
Section 301
A provision of the Trade Act of 1974 under which the US Trade Representative can impose duties in response to foreign practices. From 24 July 2026 the basis of the 10%/12.5% additional duties on imports from 60 economies, including wine.
T
Three-tier system
The US structure under which most wine passes from producer to distributor to retailer, each taking a margin; together they commonly double the winery price. Direct-to-consumer sales bypass it.
V
Volatility
The annualised standard deviation of changes between price observations — how jumpy a price path was. Corkonomics computes it only with eight or more observations.
Y
Yield
Grape or wine output per unit of vineyard: hectolitres per hectare in Europe, tons per acre in the United States, kilograms per hectare in Champagne. Appellation rules cap it; top estates crop below the cap. One hl/ha is about 133 bottles per hectare.
