Wine, especially cheap or ordinary wine; an informal or slang term borrowed from Spanish or Italian.
From Spanish and Italian 'vino,' meaning wine, which comes from Latin 'vinum.' English borrowed this casual term directly from Romance languages rather than using its Germanic 'wine.'
In every Romance language (Spanish, Italian, French), wine is basically the same word—vino, vino, vin—because the Romans spread wine culture across Europe, but English speakers often use the Latin version as slang to sound casual.
