Bacharach

/ˈbɑːkəræk/ noun

Definition

A type of white wine from the Bacharach region in Germany, or a wine glass from that region.

Etymology

From Bacharach, a town in the Rhine Valley of Germany where this wine has been produced since medieval times; named after its geographical origin.

Kelly Says

The name comes from a real place on the Rhine River, and Bacharach wine became so famous that the town's name became the wine's name—that's the ultimate compliment for a wine region.
