How to say it

Pronouncing wine terms correctly can be difficult, especially if you have never heard the terms before. We have created a pronunciation guide for some key terms so you can hear and see how they should be pronounced. Our aim for this “How to say it” guide has been to capture universally recognised, correct pronunciations.
