the AI overview said:

""Plonk" is a term for low-quality, inexpensive wine, often used in a derogatory way. It's primarily used in Commonwealth English, particularly in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.
The term may have originated from the French word blanc, meaning "white". However, it can refer to any cheap wine, including red or rosé. The term may also be onomatopoeic, referring to the sound a cheap bottle of wine makes when it's put down on a wooden table.

so i'm guessing you're not in nebraska or chicago
