Vintner

A vintner is a person or company involved in making wine, often called a winemaker. They oversee the entire process, from cultivating grapes and harvesting them to fermenting, aging, and bottling the wine. Vintners may own vineyards or work with grape growers, and their expertise influences the style, quality, and character of the wine. The term is commonly used in regions like California and France to describe professionals dedicated to producing wine, whether small-scale artisans or large producers. In essence, vintners are the craftsmen behind the creation of wine, shaping its taste and personality.
