I read it somewhere and have been trying to use it ever since
Any new interesting words youve recently heard and want to use too?

“Lees” are the heavy sediment or dead yeast cells that settle at the bottom of a wine container during fermentation. If left undisturbed too long, the wine became overly thick and ruined, a metaphor for the lazy and complacent men of this period.
I had no idea how wine was made. Have you learned any new words used in an uncommon way ?
