Where did this idea of calling wine "juice" come from, and why does it seem to persist? Is it an affectation of an American/Australian critic, maybe?
On the one hand, wine and juice simply are not synonyms. Juice is fermented and becomes wine. Nothing against juice: I've had some delicious grape juices, but they're not the same thing. If it's okay to call wine juice, what do you call juice?
On the other hand, juice has more characters than wine, and is surely (if only a tiny bit) harder to spell when typing/tapping.
