ονος ee-nos (Ancient Greek) = wine (Latin vinus ~ w οίνος)

Ancient Greeks used to drink the wine diluted with water.

The procedure of dilution is κράσις του οίνου [krasis tu eenu] = dilution of wine, and was taking place in a vessel called κρατήρ [krateer] = crater

In Byzantine times the expression «δός μοι κρᾶσιν οἴνου»

= "give me dilution of wine", was shortened to «δός μοι κρᾶσιν» = give me "krasin" and since the word "krasi" replaced the word oίνος for wine.

So κρασί [krasi] = wine in Modern Greek

"Oinos" and "krasi" are both Greek words for wine, with "oinos" being the more ancient term and "krasi" being the more modern term. "Oinos" is often associated with poetic or classical contexts, while "krasi" is the more commonly used term in everyday language.
