Link vino directly with wine: it is the ordinary Italian and Spanish word for wine, borrowed into English as a casual, sometimes humorous or stylish alternative. Imagine friends saying a glass of vino or bringing some vino to dinner. Its v and final o preserve the recognizable Romance-language form, while English wine is a historical relative. Connect it also with vine, vineyard, and vintage, all part of the familiar vocabulary surrounding grapes and wine. In English, vino usually creates an informal tone and is not a technical name for a particular kind of wine.

vino の語源・成り立ち Etymology
英語 vino は、イタリア語またはスペイン語の vino(ワイン)から借用された語で、ラテン語 vīnum(ぶどう酒)に遡ります。英語の wine も歴史的に関連しますが、ラテン語より前の究極的な起源については複数の説があります。
English vino is a direct borrowing from Italian or Spanish vino, both meaning “wine.” These forms descend from Latin vīnum, “wine” or “grape wine.” Latin vīnum is related to words found across several ancient Indo-European languages and is commonly connected with a reconstructed form often written as wóinom. English wine belongs to the same broad historical word family. In present-day English, vino functions mainly as a casual, playful, or culturally flavored alternative to wine.
