Helen Shiner Mar 12, 2011:
@ MScholey Has this anything to do with this particular region which seems to have adopted 'Genuss' as a slogan?

Wendy+Ramey= 'Promoter of good taste'
has to be 'good taste' because of the ambiguity :)

yes, I can follow you - I found the wordplay interesting, though!
agree Joel Schaefer : This expression has the right feel even if it's not an exact translation. It's marketing, after all!

German term (edited): Genussbotschafter

Advocate of fine food and drink

Genuss in this sense is the appreciation of fine food and drink. Having taken a look on the web at other "Genussbotschafter", they are advocates of the food and drinks industry as a whole, which is why I don't believe it should be restricted solely to wine.

Culinary advocate is also a common term, but I'm not sure that it fully reflects the idea of "Genuss", hence my suggestion of "fine food and drink"

Okay, this only gets ONE ghit (Bordeaux), but I like it all the same.
