1. 1(口語、開玩笑的說法)葡萄酒、小酒。感覺像中文說「來一杯」「喝兩杯」那種輕鬆語氣,不是正式場合用的詞。

    Wine — but said in a relaxed, joking, slightly cheap way. It is the Italian and Spanish word for wine, borrowed into English whole, and English keeps the holiday feeling that comes with it. You say vino among friends: "Fancy a glass of vino?" You do not say it in a restaurant to a sommelier, and you would not write it in an essay.

    Because of that light tone, vino tends to point at ordinary drinking wine rather than anything serious. Nobody calls a hundred-dollar bottle vino without smiling. In British English especially it is very common and very casual — a bit like calling a cup of tea a .

    It is a mass noun, like wine itself: some vino, a glass of vino, a bit too much vino. You can say vinos for glasses of it in very loose speech, but wine's own grammar is the safer model.

組成直接借自義大利文或西班牙文的 vino (酒)。和英文 wine 同源,都出自拉丁文 vīnum — 一個從法語那條路進來,一個直接搬過來。
