Shipper adjectives

[PhilW]

This thread is becoming ridiculous.

You thought 'Fonseeker' was tacky didn't you?

I like Fonseeker, as a neologism rather than a shipper adjective.

[RPA]

I think you're all ignoring the elephant in the room - shippers with prefix 'Quinta do'. Should this be hyphenated or removed entirely? Is it Quinta-do-Vesuvian or just Vesuvian? Quinta-do-Novalian or Novalian? Or Novallian if we are Americanising (Americanizing).

How about single Quintas and/or special labels? Is it Novalian Nacional or Noval-Nacionalistic?

Good luck with Taylor (Fladgate) Quinta do Vargellas Vinha Velha...

[Alex Bridgeman]

Please Sir, could we have a list ( ) of what has been suggested so far?

My contributions:
* reminiscent of Croft - Crofteen - "That's a very Crofteen port. Who made it?" (preferably said with a strong Northern Irish accent)
* showing characteristics expected of Quinta do Vesuvio - has to be Vesuvian - "That blew my mind, it was pure Vesuvian!" (with an Italian accent, en hommage to Vesuvius)
* strikingly aligned to the experience delivered by Quinta do Noval Nacional - "too expensive" - "That was very tasty, but far too expensive." (Scottish accent? Yorkshire accent?)

The elephant needs to be politely shown the door, the superfluous gubbins at the start should be lopped off. So having taken care of all those 'Quinta do' excrescences I am a bit stuck with what to do with all these 'super cuvees', God rot them. I think Alex's epithet about the Nacional should be extended to all of them; expensive.

As a Grahamer could I suggest Grahamicious as an alternative adjective.

[LGTrotter]

Grahamosity, Gramptious, The Gramms (as in "I've got the..."), Grahma-lama-ding-dong, Gravian (nod to Daniel there), Grahmalosity, The Grahamdaddy...

[Glenn E.]

I approve.

But I think that Grahamdaddy should be reserved for the best Graham ever produced, or for the oldest one known to have been produced.

[AW77]

Rozés = Rozésian
Sandeman = Sandemanian
(more specific Vau = Vauvian)
Andresen = Andresenian
Vallado = Valladonian
Pocas = Pocasian
Kopke = Kopkepian
Calem = Calemian
Ramos Pinto = Ramos Pintonian
Offley = Offleyian
Niepoort = Niepoortian
Ferreira = Ferreiran
Crasto = Crastonian

[jdaw1]

Pocas = Pocasian

“Pocas” = Poças, presumably. If so, would that affect the construction of the adjective?

Rozés = Rozésian

Likewise, Rozès?

[djewesbury]

Pocas = Pocasian

“Pocas” = Poças, presumably. If so, would that affect the construction of the adjective?

No; or, how?
