Spot on. The Bible mentions WINE 141 circumstances...under no circumstances grape juice!!! Psalm104:15.."...and wine to gladden adult adult males's hearts"....grape juice under no circumstances gladdened some thing. Neither Noah nor Lot were given falling-down below the effect of alcohol on grape juice. and there is not any reason behind all and sundry to insist that Jesus replaced water into grape juice... As defined by utilizing Daniel-Rops in "on a daily basis existence in the time of Jesus"...the common wine grow to be an finished bodied deep red wine, wealthy in both alcohol and tannin. It grow to be frequently served mixed with water." to point that once the marriage travelers at Cana had below the effect of alcohol all the "perfect" wine, Jesus then provide them 'grape juice' is only stupid. Why do tea-tottlers attempt to operate to, or replace, the bible, at the same time as it really is expressly forbidden to finish that????

Grape juice had to be fermented to preserve it's good taste, which means it had to contain alcohol. The method of preserving grape juice without alcohol was not invented until 1830 by the Welches Grape Juice Company, a Protestant family owned business.
Matt. 26:27,29; Mark 14:23,25; Luke 22:17-18; 1 Cor. 11:25-27 - Jesus instituted the Eucharist using wine and commanded us to "do this in remembrance of me." We know that Jesus instituted the Eucharist at the Jewish seder meal, which required the use of wine. Yet some Protestant churches forbid drinking wine. Such a prohibition is not based on the Scriptures.
Luke 7:33-34 - God the Son drank wine and was accused of being a drunk. Are those Protestant churches that forbid the drinking of wine doing the same?
John 2:1-11 - Jesus' first miracle was turning water into wine which was drunk at the wedding at Cana. Wine is a symbol of the life of the Church, in both the Eucharist and, here, the sanctification of the sacrament of marriage. Verse 10 also indicates that the people drank enough wine at the feast to the point that they might not have recognized good wine from bad wine. Yet Jesus creates for them more wine to drink.
1 Tim. 5:23 - Paul tells Timothy to drink not just water, but a little wine for the sake of his stomach and frequent ailments. If Paul under divine inspiration encourages the drinking of wine, why do some Protestant churches prohibit it?
Gen. 14:18 - Melchizedek offers a bread and wine sacrifice, and Jesus is the Priest in the same manner. Heb. 5:6,10; 6:20; 7:15,17.
Gen. 27:25 - Isaac brought Jacob wine, and he drank, with God's favor.
Neh. 8:10 - Nehemiah commands the faithful to drink sweet wine to celebrate the Lord and His holy day.
Psalm 104:15 - the Psalmist writes that "wine gladdens the heart of a man." God gave us the fruit of the vine to enjoy.
Ecclesiastes 9:7 - "drink your wine with a merry heart, for God approves what you do."
Wisdom 2:7 - "Let us take our fill of costly wine and perfumes!"
Sir. 31:25-28 - "Wine is like life if drunk in moderation." God created wine to make us glad, so we rejoice in heart, and have gladness of soul.
Sir. 40:20 - "Wine gladdens the heart."
Isaiah 25:6 - God will provide a feast of rich foods and choice wines.
Amos 9:14 - God declares that His people shall plant their vineyards and drink their wine.
Zech. 10:7 - God says that when He saves His people, their hearts shall be glad as with wine.
2 Mac. 15:39 - this verse also describes the pleasure of drinking wine. The point is that all God made is good, and we are called to enjoy His good gifts, including drinking wine, as long as we do so in moderation. And while we drink in moderation, the miracle that Jesus performed at the wedding feast at Cana suggests that we can have a second glass!

There are two types of drink that is translated "wine" in the Bible. The first is the fresh grape juice. It was good for a few days, but after that would go bad. It was this type of wine that Jesus turned the water into at the wedding.
When they wanted to preserve it, they would add the necessary ingredient and let it ferment into a low grade alcoholic wine. This wine would keep for much longer periods of time. It was this type of wine that Paul instructed Timothy to drink a little of for his stomach problems.
"letting the good times roll" (getting drunk) was considered drinking in "excess" and is a sin according to the Bible.

Grapes were stored in wine skins... Even Melchisedek, preist of the Most High God (El Elyon) came and met Abraham with bread and wine.... symbolical also of carrying the body and blood of our redeemer... So, dear Uncle, the grape juice was put into fermentation.... and this worked out fine unless one put new wine in old wine skins... speaking of the miracle transformation that happens when we are regenerated on the inside by the Spirit of God who brings to us the first pure intentions of the Heavenly Father for ALL THINGS....for nothing is unclean of itself...
One of my favorite quotes from one who knew the Maker...'Elihu' = 'meaning...He Himself IS my God
Behold, my belly is as wine which has no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles. Job 32:19
When the time is Right(eous) pull the cork and let the good times flow : ) (( Spiritually speaking of course... as Elihu was speaking of the inspiration and unction of the eternal spirit of Truth)....

It fermented, of course, as shown by the famous passage in which Jesus points out no one puts new wine in old wine skins. Fermenting wine releases gasses which stretch the animal skins, making them unsuitable for repeated use. So much for the claim that the bible means grape juice when it clearly says wine.
Right, Unc?

I guess that when Evangelist Paul reads the story of the wedding at Cana he misses the reference to the usual practice of wedding hosts serving inferior wine after the guests have drunk enough good wine to be too buzzed to notice the difference.
