Tent
Skip to: comments (0); categories; related posts; previous/next postThomas Wright’s 1857 Dictionary of obsolete and provincial English says it is an inferior alicant wine, and used as a general term for all Spanish reds (ie from tinto), which seems somewhat at odds with his quote from Ward’s diary (16×2): “I drank tent with Mr. Hartman. It is a very sweet and a luscious wine, very cordial as I suppose.” Maybe red was a girlie drink back then.
