appreciators
Those who admire
Appreciators are people who recognize and value the worth of something.
The word implies more than passive enjoyment—appreciators actively perceive quality or merit: wine appreciators, art appreciators.
Someone might be described as an appreciator of fine craftsmanship, good conversation, or subtle humor.
