Random information on the term “Hocks”:
Hock is a British term for German white wine; sometimes it refers to white wine from the Rhine region (specifically Riesling) and sometimes to all German white wine.[1]
It is short for the obsolete word “hockamore”, which is an alteration of “Hochheimer”, derived from the name of the town of Hochheim am Main in Germany.
The term seems to have been in use in the 17th century, initially for white wines (predominantly Riesling) from the Rheingau, but in the 18th century it came to be used for any German white wine sold in Britain to convey some of the then very high prestige of Rheingau wine to (often much) lesser German wines.[1]
It seems probable that Queen Victoria’s visit to Hochheim (in Rheingau) and its vineyards during harvest time in 1850 contributed to the continued use of the word “hock”. By then these Rheingau wines commanded high prices, on par with – and sometimes higher than – the best wines from Bordeaux and Burgundy,[2] matching and sometimes exceeding them in prestige.
