Hello, Mileski:

I don't mean to be rude about this, but surely you are
expecting rather a lot of free help from others over
terms which should be available from any decent
French-English dictionary or wine-making lexicon!
I, for one, don't mind helping a colleague from time to
time but I do draw the line at providing a complete
vocabulary for nothing when it would take me at least
an hour or two to look the terms up!

That being said, here are the ones I can do off the top
of my head:
