Plonk
含义: Cheap wine; wine of poor quality.
Plonk is dismissive slang for cheap or inferior wine—the stuff you drink when quality doesn't matter. 'A bottle of plonk' might be the house wine or whatever's on offer. Despite the derogatory origin, it's often used affectionately for unpretentious wine.
