Grape wine (Budoshu)

Japanese: ブドウ酒(葡萄酒) - ぶどうしゅ(英語表記)wine
Grape wine (Budoshu)
An alcoholic drink made by fermenting grapes. The English word wine, the French word vin, and the German word wein all have their origins in the Latin word vinum. In the past, grapes were only grown in the Northern Hemisphere, but after the second half of the 16th century, they began to be cultivated in South America, South Africa, Australia, and other places, and wine began to be produced in the Southern Hemisphere as well. Wine is a simple fermented alcoholic drink that turns into alcohol simply by fermenting the sugar in grapes, so it is probably the alcoholic drink that humans have been making for a long time.

Japanese:
ブドウの果実を原料として,発酵させてつくるアルコール性飲料。英語のワインをはじめ,フランス語のバンvin,ドイツ語のワインWeinなどは,みなラテン語のウィヌムvinumを語源とする。かつては世界のブドウの産地は北半球に限られていたが,16世紀後半以後に南アメリカ,南アフリカ,オーストラリアなどでも栽培されるようになり,南半球でもブドウ酒が生産されるようになった。ブドウ酒は,ブドウの糖分を発酵させるだけで酒になる単発酵酒なので,おそらく人類が最も古くからつくっていた酒と思われる。
