The Wine Bottle

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.
