This chapter writes about the metaphor as a source of lexical creation in the field of wine criticism. More specifically, it delimits the conceptual metaphors acting in this ambit from a contrastive perspective between Spanish and French. Within the framework of wine tourism, the paper analyzes a corpus-data obtained from several wine journals and specialized literature, in which the abundance of expressions related to the body and eroticism is widely present. Keywords: metaphors; lexical creation; wine criticism; wine tourism
