Etymology
The word pino can mean a Pinot wine and probably comes from shortening Pinot, the grape name, so it simply names a glass or bottle of that wine. For the slang meaning 'prison', one popular idea is that people shortened pen or similar words, which helps explain how pino came to be used for a prison.
