Rabbi's Bead

In Austria, a common and clearly negative colloquial term for a wine of low quality with a high alcohol content, the (excessive) consumption of which makes one "rabid" (inconsiderate, angry, aggressive). See other terms for such or similar wines under sour wine.

Voices of our members

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.
