Unmixed, undiluted, pure; especially of wine served without water
This adjective means "unmixed," "undiluted," or "pure"—especially applied to wine served neat without the customary addition of water. Classical Greeks typically diluted wine with water; unmixed wine was considered barbaric and dangerously strong. John uses it in Revelation 14:10 in the terrifying judgment oracle: drinking "the wine of God's wrath, poured unmixed into the cup of His anger." The term emphasizes the full-strength, undiluted fury of divine judgment—no mercy mixed in, no mitigation of wrath's intensity. The image of neat wine represents concentrated, untempered judgment in all its fearsome potency.
