Climbing or trailing plants with long, flexible stems, especially those that produce grapes. Also refers to short video clips on the former social media platform Vine.
From Latin vinea meaning 'vineyard', from vinum 'wine'. The connection between vines and wine has been fundamental since ancient times, with viticulture being one of humanity's oldest agricultural practices.
Grapevines can live for over 100 years and actually produce better wine as they age because their roots grow deeper, accessing more complex minerals in the soil. The social media platform Vine (2013-2017) chose its name because short videos could 'go viral' quickly, spreading like vines.
