Other forms: bouquets
The bouquet of a wine is its complex smell. A rich bouquet, the bouquet of an old wine, note the bouquet.
It is the term for the smell a wine develops with age, as against the aroma, which comes from the grape — though most speakers use the two interchangeably. The commoner sense is a bunch of flowers arranged as a gift: a bridal bouquet, throw the bouquet. It is pronounced boo-KAY. Note bouquet garni, the tied bundle of herbs used in cooking, which is neither flowers nor wine.
