It's a certain type of wine but I can't find a translation for it.
Here is a definition

Thanks in advance

teinturier wine
went via the French to find this - I know for sure that in French a grape variety grown just to add colour to other, paler varieties is called a "cépage teinturier". The OIV Lexique de la Vigne et du Vin has "teinturier wine" for "vin teinturier", and it's be confirmed by several reliable Web sites.

Colouring wine
I suspect the French term may be more commonly used in the trade though.
Example sentence:
Colouring wine: These deep red wines are used to improve the colour of light red wines.
