Vorgeschmack vs Vorzeichen

sign / omen

A Vorzeichen is an indication that something might happen later without itself being part of that event. A Vorgeschmack, on the other hand, already provides a first small impression of what is to come. Use Vorzeichen for an interpretation or warning, and Vorgeschmack for a first experience.
