Oenophile - a podcast by Word of the Day

Oenophile is a noun that refers to a lover of wine.

The Greek word for wine oinos (EE nosse) provides roughly half of our word of the day’s origin. The rest is PHILE a suffix of Latin descent that means ‘lover of.’

Rhonda was one of the most knowledgeable oenophiles I’ve ever met. Not only did have a great wine to recommend to me, but she was aware of that wine’s history.

Oenophile is spelled OENOPHILE.
