Wine glass

This week, we talk to a wine maker at London's Good Food Show. He describes one of his favourite drinks and explains what makes a good wine. As we listen to him, we'll explore some drink related language.

You can download a programme script and mp3 version of the audio at the bottom of the page.

Try to answer these questions as you listen:
1: What word does David invent to describe the kind of wine you can drink very fast?
2: What word beginning with 's' means to drink something very slowly?
3: What word beginning with 'm' can be used to describe a large amount of something?
