tinto
red (wine)
Pronunciation
/ˈtinto/
Cultural Note
In Spain, 'tinto' refers exclusively to red wine. However, in Colombia, 'un tinto' means a black coffee -- a completely different meaning that can cause amusing confusion. 'Tinto de verano' (summer red wine with soda) is Spain's casual alternative to sangria and is far more popular among locals.
📝 Example Sentences

Un tinto de verano es vino tinto con gaseosa de limon.
A tinto de verano is red wine with lemon soda.
