Vine in Spanish: Vid
Vid · noun · beed
Vine in Spanish is vid for a grapevine and enredadera for any climbing or trailing vine. The word parra refers specifically to a grapevine trained on a trellis or arbor. Vid is closely related to viñedo (vineyard), vino (wine), and vinicultura (winemaking), forming a rich word family rooted in Latin vitis.
Vid is one syllable: beed. The Spanish v is pronounced as a soft b, and the d at the end is very soft, almost silent.
Las vides crecen en hileras ordenadas en el viñedo.
The vines grow in neat rows in the vineyard.
