Etymology	The word wine has a very ancient origin and about its etymology scholars disagree: according to one of the most common theories it would derive from the Sanskrit word vena, a term formed by the root ven, which means “to love”, not by chance, from the same root derives Venus, Venus, or from the ancient Hebrew iin which through the Greek oinos would have arrived to Latins. Others instead argue that from a Sanskrit root vi (to twist) would come out the word wine, that is the fruit of the plant which is twisted. Cicero attributed to vinum a Latin etymology, making it derive from vir (man) and vis (strength). (6) From Middle English wyn, win, from Old English wīn, from Proto-West Germanic *wīn, from  Latin vīnum, from Proto-Indo-European *wóyh₁nom (“wine”). Doublet of vine. (7)
