Definition

Etymology

From Deidesheim, a village in the Rhineland-Palatinate region of Germany known for wine production since medieval times. The -er suffix (like in 'New Yorker') marks origin place.

Kelly Says

Deidesheim wines were traded along medieval Rhine routes and became so famous that 'Deidesheimer' became a synonym for quality German white wine—place names on bottles became indicators of quality before modern regulation.
