Made-wine means: An alcoholic drink made from fermentation, other than grape wine, beer, black beer, spirits or cider, for the purposes of excise tax.. It is finance or tax vocabulary; usage is usually formal or news-related rather than peer slang. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.
