vintner

Acclaimed vintner Francis Ford Coppola is hardly slapping his name on boxes of Franzia.

Curious to learn more about this weediest of wines, I recently spoke with a California vintner who makes it on the side.

U was an Usurer, a miserable elf; V was a Vintner, who drank all himself.

His companions were two merchants of Lyons, a vintner of Dijon, and a taciturn, soberly clad professor.

This town is full of vintners' places and every vintner has—or rather he did have—a lot of those big empty wine casks on hand.

Once, merely from a malignant whim, he staved all the wine in a vintner's cellar.

Much harm would be done if the charitable vintner had not water ready for the flames.
