Botanical term for the inflorescence (glory) of the vine, in which there are several superimposed and branched lateral axes with the stalked flowers on a main axis (the inflorescence is not strictly speaking a bunch of grapes, as such a bunch only has side stems without branches). The stem framework is called the comb or centaury. See also under Flower and Grape.

For my many years of work as an editor with a wine and culinary focus, I always like to inform myself about special questions at Wine lexicon. Spontaneous reading and following links often leads to exciting discoveries in the wide world of wine.
