wine -lrb- or wini ; died before 672 -rrb- was a medieval bishop of london and the first bishop of winchester .
wine was consecrated the first bishop of winchester in 660 and possibly translated to dorchester around 663 .
in 666 , he was translated from dorchester to london .
bede tells us that wine was ordained bishop in the frankish kingdom and that king cenwalh of wessex installed him after disagreements with the previous frankish bishop , agilbert .
wine too was forced to leave after a few years and took refuge with wulfhere , king of mercia , who installed him in london , after a payment to wulfhere .
in 665 , while in wessex , wine took part with two welsh or british bishops in the ordination of chad as bishop of the northumbrians , an act that was uncanonical because the other two bishops ' ordination was not recognised by rome .
this would have resulted in his being disciplined , along with chad , by theodore of tarsus , the new archbishop of canterbury , who arrived in 669 .
since bede does not list him among the miscreants at this point , it is possible he had died by this date .
wine died sometime before 672 .
