A wine is the fermented juice of a fruit - with grapes it is pure juice as this is the most suitable fruit for making wine because they contain the right amount of tannin, acid, sugar, etc, without these ingredients having to be added, such as with country wines.

Common use of cordial in the US is the same as liqueur. An alcoholic drink which is usually distilled spirits that have been sweetened and enhanced by the addition of either fruit, herbs, flowers or a combination thereof.
I think originally it refered to a stimulating drink or medicine (a tonic), but those usually contained a bit of alcohol too :-)
