Abstract:
Wine as a product has been around for thousands of years. It is an active participant in a wide range of aspects of society, including religion, the economy, business, medicine and gastronomy. At the end of the 18th century, modern science and modern techniques became available to wine producers. This is how oenology was born.The changes in the discipline of oenology that took place in Spain during the 19th century influenced the terminology used for that science. The best examples are the many new terms that were incorporated into the discipline, such as enotermo, enobarómetro, éter pelargónico, micrococco and tanificación.We analysed 1,791 terms selected from the following eight oenological sources: Cadet-de-Vaux (1803), Boutelou (1806), Carbonell (1820), Bonet (1858), Castellet (1865), Lecannu (1871), Aragó (1871) and Manso y Díaz (1895). For dating purposes, these terms can be divided into the following three groups:1. First stage (1803-1820). THE BIRTH OF SPANISH OENOLOGY. The works of Cadet-de-Vaux (1803), Boutelou (1806) and Carbonell (1820) belong to this first stage. This stage, in which 618 terms, or 34.5% of the corpus, are documented, comprises both traditional terminology for wine production and new terminology. Here, terms such as bodega, colodra, prensa, uva, vendimiador and vino, as well as enologista, eonológico/a, oenómetro and onólogo, are dated. 2. Second stage (1858-1871). THE RECOVERY OF SPANISH OENOLOGY. The works of Bonet (1858), Castellet (1865) and Lecannu (1871) belong to this second stage. In this stage, 589 terms, or 32.9% of the corpus, are documented. After the work of Carbonell (1820) and until the middle of the 19th century, there was a breakdown in the development of oenological knowledge in Spain due to the socio-political circumstanc
