Explanation
This is a loanword from English “wine.” It normally refers to wine made from grapes. Common types include ไวน์แดง (red wine) and ไวน์ขาว (white wine). Wine made from other fruit may be called ไวน์ผลไม้ (fruit wine), with the fruit or type specified. Wine is counted by its container or serving unit, especially แก้ว for a glass and ขวด for a bottle.
Usage
It is commonly used when ordering at restaurants or bars, shopping for wine, or discussing sweetness and food pairings. Frequent combinations include ดื่มไวน์ (drink wine), สั่งไวน์ (order wine), and เปิดไวน์ (open a bottle of wine).
Caution
The word normally refers to an alcoholic drink. Grape juice is น้ำองุ่น, while non-alcoholic wine should be identified as ไวน์ไม่มีแอลกอฮอล์. When giving a quantity, use a serving or container word, as in ไวน์หนึ่งแก้ว (one glass of wine) or ไวน์หนึ่งขวด (one bottle of wine).
