wine god

Vineyard deity figure

A wine god is a deity associated with wine, vineyards, and the intoxication wine brings.

Dionysus in Greek mythology and Bacchus in Roman are the primary examples.

The term extends to anyone who seems to preside over drinking or embody wine culture: He appointed himself wine god of the dinner party.
