Word for Wine Expert

But let’s be real: the best word might just be wino. It’s casual. It’s honest. It doesn’t pretend you’re sniffing “notes of leather” when you’re really just smelling leftover pizza. The difference? A wino drinks from a paper bag. An oenophile drinks from a $200 glass. Both end up happy.
