Bedeutung
Wine made from dark grapes.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Lithuanians traditionally toast with 'Į sveikatą!' and it's important to look the person in the eye. Red wine is often served with dark meats or during long winter evenings. In the Anykščiai region, 'raudonas vynas' often refers to high-quality fruit and berry wines, which are a point of local pride. In the 16th century, red wine was imported from Hungary and France for the nobility, while the commoners drank mead or beer. Wine bars (vyninės) are very popular in Vilnius Old Town, where 'raudonas vynas' is the most ordered drink after 8 PM.
Ordering Tip
If you don't know which one to pick, just ask for 'namų vynas' (house wine).
Grammar Alert
Don't forget the 'ą' in 'raudoną vyną' when you are the one doing the drinking (Accusative case)!
