Imbs

In German Rheinhessen, a dialectal term (after Imbiss = small meal) for the rustic meal in the vineyard, which was taken by the vineyard workers at midday (formerly indicated by the church tower bell). The meal was brought by the vintner in a handled basket and traditionally consisted of home-made sausage (liverwurst, black pudding, Schwartenmagen), jacket potatoes (Quellmänner) and soft cheese, which lay on a tablecloth spread out on the ground. See also under wine-growing customs.

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
