Winegrower

Term in the English-speaking world for the winegrower (vintner); see there.

The German term Winzer is derived from the Latin "Vinitor" (from Vinum = wine) and means "Weinleser" (grape picker). Presumably, in the past it was only used to mean the activity of growing grapes without producing wine. Today, in German-speaking countries, this is not a clear job title, but a general, colloquial term for the group of winegrowers, regardless of the scope of activity, from the pure grape supplier to the wine producer (cellar master). Today, however, the term is generally only used to refer to a wine production company as a winery and, especially in Bordeaux, as a château.
