Designation for words or terms that have the same meaning/similar meaning but are phonetically different. For example, "Weinhauer", "Weinbauer" and " Winzer" or "Besenwirtschaft", " Buschenschank", " Heckenwirtschaft", "Heuriger " and "Straußwirtschaft" or "Böttcher" and " Küfer" or "Keltern" and " Pressen" or "Vinifikation", "Vinification", "Weinherstellung" and " Weinbereitung " - but also " Keltern". Words with exactly the same meaning are rare, however; there is often a difference in meaning or value. For example, "head and head", "home and home", "picture and painting", "leaf and foliage" as well as "vine and vine".
As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
