English term or phrase: angel's share
Definition from Oxford:
n. (usually with the) the quantity of wine or distilled spirits lost to evaporation while ageing in wooden casks; the vapours resulting from this process.

Meleklerin Payı


Definition from Ekşi sözlük:
Şarapların şişelerinde veya viski gibi sert içkilerin ise fıçılarında eskitilmek suretiyle yıllanması esnasında, buharlaşma neticesinde hacmen yitirdikleri miktarın, görünmez varlıklar olan melekler tarafından içildiği inancıyla geçmişten günümüze süregelmiş bir mecazi kullanımdır.

Example sentence(s):
  • Actually we don’t use this phrase that much, but there are some sources on the web regarding usage of this term. All those existing web sources actually give definition of this phrase, don’t actually use it in the sentence since it is not a part of our culture. - http://meleklerinpayi.com
