winebibber (WYN-bib-uhr) noun
One who drinks too much wine. [From Middle English wine + bib (to drink).] "For devoted winebibber Thomas Jefferson, who drank the First Growths of Bordeaux (Lafite, Latour, Haut-Brion, Margaux) even before they were classified as such in 1855, one of his keenest disappointments was the failure to establish vineyards at Monticello." Barbara Ensrud, Jefferson Would Be Proud, The Wall Street Journal (New York), Aug 1, 1997. This week's theme: words to describe people.

I am a Conservative to preserve all that is good in our constitution, a Radical to remove all that is bad. I seek to preserve property and to respect order, and I equally decry the appeal to the passions of the many of the prejudices of the few. -Benjamin Disraeli, British prime minister (1804-1881) Subscribe: http://wordsmith.org/awad/subscribe.html Unsubscribe: http://wordsmith.org/awad/unsubscribe.html Change address: http://wordsmith.org/awad/address-change.html Gift subscription: http://wordsmith.org/awad/gift.html Pronunciation: http://wordsmith.org/words/winebibber.wav http://wordsmith.org/words/winebibber.ram
