Dry White Wine
The word, wine, comes from the the Old English win that is borrowed
from the Latin word vinum , which can mean either the "wine"
or the "vine". wine is an alcoholic beverage. In
general, wine is made by fermenting grapes or grape juice.
Wine-like beverages can also be made from other fruits or
from flowers, grains, and even honey, in which case, a qualifier
has to be used; for example, "elderberry wine".
The word wine and its equivalents in other languages is protected
by law in many jurisdictions and therefore should always mean
grape wine. |
