7 mins confidence: 
| tinto red wine Explanation: Not a type of red wine, but red wine itself. It is the adjective used in Spanish the colour of red wine, and transfers to mean the wine itself. I imagine it wouldn't be applied to wines which weren't from a Spanish speaking country if used in English. Outside of Spanish it might mistakenly be used as a shortened version of "tinto de verano", (aka sangría), which is red wine with lemonade and fruit, basically. The Spanish would not understand this usage. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 mins (2015-04-07 20:45:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ah, barking up the wrong tree I fear. |
