A word to memorize

Quality oriented winemakers are really eager to teach you, wine connoisseur to use the Hungarian term, so please, practice: BI-KA-VÉR. (‘Bika’ means ‘bull’, while ‘vér’ means blood, but the English translation Bulls’ Blood is not used any more to avoid the resemblance to the mass produced wine of the Communist era.)
