Regularly gave wino rum for them (6)

I believe the answer is:

vowels


If this is the answer, I'm afraid I cannot explain it.

(Other definitions for vowels that I've seen before include "aeiou" , "'Five letters, not consonants (6)'" , "Five speech sounds" , "Speech sounds made with the vocal tract open" , "A e i o u" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
