Do you want your roasted beans with spider flavoring or without ?

My late dad always maintained that he didn't want to drink newly
pressed wine(*) because of the squashed spiders in it, although for
some reason he didn't have the same objection to fully matured wine.
And make no mistake, all sorts of arthropods end up in there.
I think a number of years ago, there was a minor panic in the local
wine-growing region because a type of ladybug had exploded in
numbers.  Wait, ladybugs feeds on aphids and are useful, aren't
they?  Generally yes, but apparently this kind had developed a taste
for those oh-so-sweet grapes, so they ended up getting pressed into
the juice and they had a sufficiently foul taste that the vintners
were afraid the whole vintage would be spoiled.

I'm struggling to find the right term. Wikipedia's entry is
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federweisser
Is there no better-established English name?

"federweisser translation english" prompts Bing to provide

"new wine"

as the English translation.

"new wine definition" is ... amazing: it has endless websites
explaining Jesus "new wine in new wineskins" and related matters.
Skillfully hidden is [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/new_wine], whose
first definition

"Wine that has fermented for a short amount of time."

is probably closest to Federweisser, at least in some parts of Europe.
It also notes that, in English at least, this comes /directly/ from
the New Testament.

I should note that "unfermented wine"
[https://glosbe.com/en/en/unfermented%20wine] isn't much better,
\which is a surprise to me -- I would have thought "grape juice" would
be much the same thing.
