bine
Hop plant's stem
A bine is the climbing or twining stem of a hop plant or similar vine.
Unlike vines that climb by tendrils or suckers, bines wrap their stems around supports in a spiral.
The word appears most often in brewing contexts, where hops grow on bines: The bines had reached the top of the trellis by midsummer.
