Grenachista
Grenachista: Term used by wine geeks to describe someone fighting for the cause of the Grenache Grape, also known as Garnacha, because they believe it is the unsung hero of the wineworld, used in many of the best wines but rarely getting the credit it deserves. Synonym for someone who believes in supporting the underdog. Grenachistas religiously celebrate International Grenache Day every September.
"That somm is pushing expensive over-oaked cab but I heard through the grapevine that he's actually a die-hard closet Grenachista fighting for the cause."
"I got tired of all those mainstream wines. I've joined the Grenache guerrillas and become a sworn Grenachista, guilty as charged."
