[edit] Etymology
From earlier ϝοῖνος, related to Latin vīnum, Old Armenian գինի (gini), Hebrew יין (yāyin) etc.; according to the Oxford Latin Dictionary, "all probably from a common Mediterranean source".[1] Perhaps instead from Proto-Indo-European *woino-, possibly from the root *wei(H)- "to twist", meaning "that of the vine"[2], and related to dialectical Greek uiēn "grapevine", possibly from *wiHēn, which also probably comes from the same root[3].
