aficionado vs lover

Both 'aficionado' and 'lover' are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'Aficionado' is typically used to describe someone who is enthusiastic and knowledgeable about a particular subject or activity, such as a wine aficionado or a photography aficionado. On the other hand, 'lover' is a more general term that can refer to someone who has a strong affection or liking for something, such as a music lover or a nature lover.
