nounwine lake (plural wine lakes)

plural wine lakes

  1. A large surplus of wine, especially as produced by the European Economic Community or its successors.

    I don't know what the volume of the wine lake is at present, but whatever it is, there ought not to be much added to it from France in 1989, which is a mercy.
