skwine

Verb ('skwīn) - to engage in video chat with someone, primarily using the software Skype, while drinking wine. Skwine, or skwining, is most commonly used to catch up with a friend who lives too far away to regularly catch up in person. When you skwine, it should be a relaxed time, full of laughter or deep conversation, or both! Individuals may substitute FaceTime or other video software platforms; however this is not truly skwine. The same is true for substituting beverages other than wine. It's allowed, but somewhat frowned upon.
