3 - Wine Terms (Not good ones)
1.
Bret:
sort for Brettanomyces which is a spoilage bacteria that gives the wine a "funk" often described as barnyard, manure, dirty socks, or wet horse to name a few. Common is many French and Italian wines and some people just love these sensations.
2.
Hydrogen Sulfide
: a substance in wine that causes the wine to smell like rotten eggs or hard cooked eggs. Vigorous swirling will remove these aromas.
3.
Ethyl Acetate :
an ester that makes the wine smell like nail polish remover. High fermentation temperatures and stressed yeast during fermentation can cause an abundance of this ester.
