Wayne’s Word – plonk 🍷

It’s a little nod to Wayne’s World, but instead of ‘party time, excellent’ (if you are aware of the cult nineties classic) I will be diving into one WORD each day. It could be something I learned, something bizarre that happened, a favourite word that I have rediscovered or just a thought that won’t leave me alone.

Today’s word is PLONK.

This word is a cheeky British and Australian slang term for wine, usually the cheap and cheerful kind. If someone says, “I will bring a bottle of plonk,” they are not thinking about vintage Bordeaux, anything drinkable will do. This is appropriate for us today as we head out later for some wine tastings at the local vineyards in Busselton, WA.
