The German word "Winzer" is a noun that means "wine grower" or "vinegrower"—a person who cultivates grapevines and produces wine.
- It is derived from the verb "weinen" (to wine or to grow grapes, old form) and the suffix "-er", indicating a person who performs an action.

- Weingutbesitzer (winery owner)
- Weinbauer (wine farmer)

Differences:

- Weinbauer is similar but less commonly used; focuses more on farming grapes rather than wine production.
