The word wine came to English from Latin vinum, via Primitive German, Proto-West Germanic and Anglo-Saxon.

Wine is a very old, non-Indo-European word. It originates with the Pelasgian people who lived in the Aegean area before the Greeks got there. The earliest written form of the word is the Greek rendering oinos, transliterated later into Latin as vinum (pronounced wee-num).
