Wine offers for "Review" in find+buy

A custom practised in many countries to give the (overlooked) grapes left on the vines after the grape harvest (main harvest) to the public, or to allow this gleaning for certain groups of people such as the poor or children. In some wine-growing areas it was customary to deliberately leave some grapes hanging for the gleanings. In the Ahr and Moselle regions, the Glinn bell was rung at the end of the main harvest to signal the start of the second harvest (Glennen, Gelinnen). In the Bible, Book of Lev. 19.10, it is called upon to leave the gleaning to the poor and strangers.

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.
