Hello,

I don't know this word, the dictionary in line gives:

gullible: adjective: means that you believe anything, you are naïve.

Gullibility is the corresponding noun.
Because of his extreme gullibility, we can make him believe anything !

BUT !!!

Now, when I post your word on google, it seems to exist! It seems to refer to wine, cider.....

".....Needless to say 'Gluggability' isn't a technical term but essential for those with a thirst for the finer fermented apple-based things in life. It allows you to gauge the ease, accessibility and 'quick-drinking cider buzz' of all of the fine cider products listed above. ..... "

"A very accessible wine with massive gluggability and a touch of class"

"Gluggability: How many gulps is it possible to down? (10 = drain the glass)"

"I mistakenly drank a whole bottle of this the other night; a testament to the dangerous gluggability of the Merlot grape"

"I think the Pinot fairs much better than the Chardonnay in the gluggability factor and I went back for some more, because it was easy and soft and what I’d called a pleasant village wine.

SO!! it seems to mean that a wine is easily drunk, gulped down....., you almost hear the noise the wine makes in your throat as you swallow it....

Well, I have learnt a new "word" !

Grand Village is all about young, refreshing gluggability – But in this context too??
maybe is it kind of flavour??

Hello,
I would say it is "the pleasure of drinking" a wine, and the urge to have some more.
in French "gouleyant" means lively, with a good attractive taste, maybe they forged a resembling word.

Hello patrycja11.

New English words are created from time to time, but this one is new to me. It could be a form of the onomatopoeic word 'glug'. It's the sound that a person makes when they drink something quickly. I wouldn't use it in any important writing.
Good night to you.
Sherry

Hello , all ...

I completely forgot about speaking English .

I've also learnt a new word with this ' debate' about the effect of tasting, appreciating and drinking a good wine such as a ' Bordeaux ' one or else !
' Drinkability ' wasn't enough . Gustation and gustativity , either .
Well , as I am not a ' knight ' yet , but think of joining a course for that ...I'll now know a bit
more , when I exchange on the subject .

Thanks !! ( gouleyant ' was a proper and lovely term ) How about creating ' gouleyable ' ?

Hello;

It refers to some sort of beverage which is easy to drink quickly and voluminously.

Hello,
"to drink quickly and voluminously"???

if that is really the case, I am sorry they invented that word ! A wine should be drunk slowly, you should relish it (a wonderful verb!)("gouleyable" would have been great,Violet! ). Maybe the "Gluggability" goes along with "binge-drinking" where the idea is to get drunk as quickly as possible, no matter what the quality of the wine is.

It's a pity this is the "English only forum", I could have invented plenty of translations for this word ( for instance: "l'engloutissabilité" a word that doesn't exist in French of course)

hello

I am not talking about wine because this word was not specially invented for wine but to characterise all beverage.
