Latin term (delir = to be mad or de lira ire = to go off the rails, tremere = to tremble) for a serious and potentially life-threatening complication of prolonged alcoholism. Alcohol delirium usually occurs in the context of alcohol withdrawal, but can also be triggered by alcohol intoxication. See under alcoholism.
There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
