Colloquial term in Austria for the unauthorised addition of water to wine; see also wine adulteration. However, this should not be confused with the wine baptism that takes place on Martini (11 November).

The wein.plus encyclopaedia is a comprehensive, well-researched reference work. Available anytime and anywhere, it has become an indispensable part of teaching, used by students and myself alike. Highly recommended!
