Such a beloved item among people, it’s no surprise that the word for wine is similar in many languages. In Hebrew, it’s יין[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/תעשיית-היין-#.m4a” /].

Here’s a Biblical example:

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/תעשיית-היין-#.m4a” /]ויין ישמח לבב אנוש. (תהלים ק”ד, ט”ו)

And wine gladdens the human heart. (Psalms 104:15)

The word for industry is תעשייה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/תעשיית-היין-#.m4a” /], deriving from the root ע.ש.ה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/תעשיית-היין-#.m4a” /] meaning doing.

When תעשייה and יין are connected in an of relationship (construct state or סמיכות[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/תעשיית-היין-#.m4a” /]), the ה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/תעשיית-היין-#.m4a” /] at the end of תעשייה becomes a ת[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/תעשיית-היין-#.m4a” /], and the phrase is תעשיית יין[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/תעשיית-היין-#.m4a” /] – wine industry or an industry of wine.
