Wine The common Hebrew word for wine is yayin, from a root meaning "to boil up," "to be in a ferment." Others derive it from a root meaning "to tread out," and hence the juice of the grape trodden out. The Greek word for wine is oinos , and the Latin vinun . But besides this common Hebrew word, there are several others which are thus rendered.
