| QPR = Quality-to-Price-Ratio (of a wine) basically, a $10 wine that rates a 94 is an amazing QPR, while a $100 wine that rates an 80 is a pretty cruddy QPR
CdP = Chateauneuf-du-Pape (generally used when discussing wines from that region of France)
There are lost of others that I can't think of right now, but feel free to ask about them here. Somebody is sure to have an answer for you. | |
