The common term for fermented grape juice, central to daily life, hospitality, and worship in the biblical world. At Cana, Jesus transforms water into wine of surpassing quality (John 2:3, 9–10), revealing abundance as a sign of the messianic age. The saying about new wine bursting old wineskins (Matt 9:17; Mark 2:22) pictures the incompatibility of the new covenant with rigid old forms. Wine also carries warnings: offered mixed with gall at the cross (Matt 27:34), and associated with the cup of God's wrath in Revelation. Every major biblical language preserves a cognate — Spanish 'vino,' French 'vin,' German 'Wein' — testifying to wine's universal cultural presence.
