The objective of this article is to discuss social varieties of Polish and Russianemployed on the labels of wine bottles. The author aims to shed light on how sensoryexperiences in the domains of VISION, SMELL, TASTE, and TOUCH are recast intothe text. This sociolect is characterized by its unique vocabulary and phraseology.The analysis indicates that labels on wine bottles consist of transparent semanticstructures, on the one hand, and professional terminology used by sommeliers and winestewards, as well as neologisms, on the other. This professional variety of the Polishand Russian ‘wine languages’ is extensive and internally diversified.
