A specific type of alcoholic beverage.
Contexto cultural
In Russia, white wine is increasingly seen as a 'summer drink'. It is very common to see people drinking it on outdoor terraces in Moscow during July and August. While Georgia is a separate country, its wine is ubiquitous in Russia. Georgian 'white' wine is often darker (amber) because it is fermented with grape skins. Moldova is a major supplier of white wine to the Russian market. It is often considered a high-quality, affordable option. The slang term 'винишко' has led to a subculture called 'vinishko-tyan', referring to young women who like wine, art-house cinema, and literature.
