Definition: Pivois

Wine, alluding to the red colour of the peony. "We're pushing the pivois six rounds into the door." Chansonnier. Stahl, 1836. "Do we have any wine? No. Bring some pivois, quick!" Vadé, 1788. Perhaps it is also a diminutive of the old word piot: wine? Pivoiner: To blush (Vidocq).
