Perlage
The bubbles produced when sparkling wine is poured into a glass. Good sparkling wine will create a persistent stream of tiny bubbles.
Phylloxera
A root louse that attacks the roots of Vitus Vinifera grapes. Phylloxera resulted in the near destruction of the European vineyards at the end of the nineteenth century. As a result, vines are now invariably grafted onto more resistant American rootstocks.
