re: wine "nymphs" ...
The "Wine Stewart" may have been referring to a different "variety" of "nymphs"?! :)
But - being the "curious type" - I began a search ...

*** requesting permission from the "Wine Stewart" to disclose the contents of my "discovery"?!
The "discovery" is actually "kinda cool" - "entomologically" speaking! :)

Grape phylloxera...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Phylloxera_cartoon.png

microscopic, pale yellow sap-sucking insects, related to aphids, feed on the roots and leaves of grapevines ...

On "Vitis vinifera" - the "common grapevine" ...
the resulting deformations on roots ("nodosities" and "tuberosities") and secondary fungal infections can girdle roots, gradually cutting off the flow of nutrients and water to the vine.

"nymphs" ...
also form protective galls on the undersides of grapevine leaves of some Vitis species and overwinter under the bark or on the vine roots; these leaf galls are typically only found on leaves of American vines.

some "wine nymphs" perhaps ?! :) ...

- a "mantis" or "praying mantis"

and, a "dragonfly" ...
