γλεῦκος G1098
Sweet new wine, freshly pressed grape juice
Wine that has just begun fermentation, still sweet and not fully aged. In Acts 2:13, mockers dismiss the Pentecost miracle by claiming the disciples are drunk on sweet wine at nine in the morning. The term suggests wine that is particularly potent or intoxicating despite its sweetness, making the accusation both insulting and absurd given the early hour.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Refers to new wine that retains natural grape sweetness. The translations (Spanish 'vino dulce', French 'moût') emphasize the fresh, sweet character rather than aged wine. Acts 2:13 records the skeptics' mocking explanation for the disciples' Spirit-filled behavior, choosing this specific term perhaps to suggest excessive indulgence in particularly strong drink, though Peter immediately refutes this charge by noting the early hour and explaining the true source of their unusual speech. 1×
