"Vinous" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Wine-like; having the characteristics or suggestion of wine, as in flavor or smell.
Example: The scent of the old book was slightly vinous, reminiscent of a fine claret.
Derived from the Latin "vineus", meaning relating to wine, comes the word "vinified", which is the past participle of the verb "to vinify". To vinify means to make or ferment wine from grapes. Therefore, the word "vinified" refers to wine that has undergone this process, typically implying that the wine is made from grapes or other fruits that have been subjected to fermentation to create the desired wine.
Vinland was a region in North America explored by Viking Leif Erikson and the Viking settlement that he established around 1000 AD.
