An informal drink (4)
I believe the answer is:
vino
'drink' is the definition.
(vino is a kind of drink)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for vino that I've seen before include "Wine, colloquially" , "Italian wine - any brand" , "Exotic wine" , "Cheap wine" , "Wine (slang)" .)
