Cabernet
This term is used as a shorthand for Cabernet Sauvignon, the most widely planted wine grape in the world. In a culinary or retail context, it is treated as a category of wine rather than a specific bottle, often evoking associations with boldness, structure, and a dry profile.
While the word can refer to the grape variety itself, it is most commonly used to describe the resulting wine. It is typically used without an article when referring to the type of wine in general (e.g., "I prefer cabernet over merlot"), but takes an article when referring to a specific serving or bottle.
