What does VINERY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A glass-roofed building or enclosed space in which grapevines are grown under shelter.
A vinery is a kind of specialised greenhouse, built so that grapes can ripen in cool climates where an open vineyard would fail. Gardeners trained the vines along wires under the glass and controlled warmth and moisture through the season. The word was most at home in the great kitchen gardens of large country houses, and it is still used by gardening writers for a structure of this kind.
