Why do native Chinese speakers who also speak English call baijiu a "wine"?

Aside: This terminology lead to me being unpleasantly surprised when I tasted baijiu because I expect something with the sweet floral taste of grape wine, whereas of course baijiu is really straight up liquor. It's kind of the same effect as how if you expect a coke and accidentally pick up a beer it tastes really bad.
