Purpose

To provide definitions for the term 'cult'

This blog will keep track of how the term 'cult' is used in the media:

Brief quotes, where necessary some brief comments, and where appropriate links to resources for further research.

Another wine with a cult following

    2008 Lagar de Cervera, Albariño Rias Baixas (£12 from Tanners Wines, if you want to try it at home).

    This peachy, fresh, dry Albariño from the cool north coast is developing a cult following. Great with any kind of seafood.

    The ‘cult following’ referred here has, of course, nothing to do with a religious cult — but rather with dictionary definition 5 of the term ‘cult.’

    It is an indication of the wine’s growing number of enthusiastic fans.
