Etymology

The word 'vinous' comes from the Latin word 'vinosus', which means 'full of wine'. This term itself is derived from 'vinum', meaning 'wine'. The use of 'vinous' in English dates back to the late 14th century, primarily within contexts relating to wine, both in terms of taste and smell. Over the years, it has evolved to describe not just the beverage itself but also other substances or flavors that evoke characteristics typical of wine. The connotation has expanded within culinary contexts, as chefs and connoisseurs often use it to articulate particular qualities of food and drink that remind one of wine experiences.
