Are there any wordsmiths out there able to assist in the pronunciation of Brettanomyces?
Assuming no silent letters I am taking a guess at brett-anom-i-seez, although I could be way off the mark!!

Exactly how I say it. I believe that's correct.

Hmmm, that sounds a bit rude. Depending on which way you read it!
