WINEBIBBER

Pronounced: "wine-bib-ber"

What the hell does it mean?
Winebibber is the name given to a person that drinks an unmerciful amount of wine.

History/ Origin?
Back in 1535 when people discovered the delights of a good night out on the wine binge, those that were locked drunk were labeled as "drunkard". "Winebibber" later developed from this word.

Examples of everyday use in conversation:
"I knew Emily was always putting herself in hospital on purpose, just to be fed the wonderful grapes, but i had no idea she liked wine this much! She's a real winebibber that girl!"
