Wine is an alcoholic beverage resulting from the fermentation of grapes or grape juice. The word comes from the Latin vinum (related to Greek οἶνος) - referring to both "wine" and the "vine". Wine-like beverages can also be made from other fruits or from flowers or grains. In this sense the word wine is used with a qualifier, for example, elderberry wine. The word wine by itself always means grape wine. This terminology is often defined by law. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wines - Definition in context
