• Fruit thinning — The act of thinning or harvesting unripe fruits and its result; a regional or archaic term used in certain pomicultural communities to describe the manual process of thinning green, unripe, or raw fruits (such as verjuice grapes) to ensure optimal structural development and superior sugar accumulation in the remaining crop on the branches.
• Unripe grape — An unripe, green, and highly sour grape, used historically or in traditional cuisine to produce an intensely acidic juice (verjuice) utilized to sour traditional soups and sauces. In a broader sense, the term also describes other fruits picked before full ripening that retain a high level of astringency.
• Verjuice vessel — A regional or archaic Romanian dialectal term used to denote a wild grapevine cutting or an un-grafted vine that produces exclusively small, green, and sour grapes (aguride); it can also refer to a specific wooden vessel or container used in old rural households for crushing and storing the acidic juice obtained from unripe grapes.

The term carries an affectionate or descriptive connotation for newly formed grapevine fruits.

• Ripening failure — The act of turning into verjuice or failing to ripen and its result; a regional physiological or pathological process described in viticulture whereby grape berries stagnate in growth and remain small, green, and sour. This structural phenomenon is caused by climate stress factors such as severe drought or pathogenic attacks, compromising the normal ripening of the yield.
• To remain unripe — A dialectal verbal variant used in certain Romanian idioms for the action of turning into verjuice or failing to ripen; a process whereby grape berries stall in development and remain small, green, and sour throughout the summer due to diseases or climate stress.
• Ripening failure — The act of turning into verjuice or failing to ripen and its result; a regional physiological or pathological process described in viticulture whereby grape berries stagnate in growth and remain small, green, and sour, compromising normal ripening due to diseases or drought.
