Grape skin have some sort of wild yeast on them. Unless they are killed by pasteurization, the crushed grapes and their juice will eventually ferment.
 
Decent wines can be affordable.

No need to spend a lot of money on decent wine.
 
How did everyone miss this from last year:

The 2,000-year-old, discarded bottle of 100% grape juice appears to have been used in lieu of wine at the traditional Jewish meal. The find finally lends biblical and historical support for the practice of using grape juice instead of wine at Communion, as many denominations have done for years. While many had assumed the Rabbi and His followers drank regular wine during the festivities, this theory is now all but disproved by this exciting find.

And this too:
While a small amount of the grape juice was left in the bottom of the bottle, it was quickly discarded as it had been discovered to have fermented, turning the remainder of the juice into “the devil’s drink.”

At publishing time, scholars had confirmed the discovery of a stack of tiny plastic cups and bits of saltine crackers in the same vicinity, along with golden plates used to pass them out to the disciples by a team of ushers.

It probably is weak, enough alcohol to kill the bad stuff present.
 
With Nero D’Avola you can smell Sicily.

At least that’s what the priest told me.

The smell of that wine 🍷 is just incredible.
 
Did they uncover some PowerPoint slides too?

When I was growing up Baptist, the version of the Wedding at Cana story that I was taught was that Jesus turned the water into grape juice, which was the best “wine” the ruler of the feast had ever tasted! I didn’t say it out loud, but I doubted that interpretation very much. Quite frankly, that’s what really got me to thinking about what else the Baptist church got wrong.

Considering that Grape Juice wasn’t invented until 1869, by Thomas Welch (aka Welch’s Grape Juice), Jesus turning the water into grape juice is not logical.

If Jesus did change the wine into Grape Juice, one would think He would have taught everyone who to make grape juice. But He didn’t because He had no issue with wine. He only had an issue with abusing wine. Just like we shouldn’t abuse food, sex, sleep, etc.

God bless

The Baptists don’t have the same Biblical excuse here that they have in the case of the Last Supper. John uses the word “wine” repeatedly in the Wedding at Cana episode.

Surely you’re not suggesting that the Baptists were telling a deliberate lie
untruth terminological inexactitude about what they’d read in their Bibles?

lol, terminological inexactitude! I’m going to have to start using that phrase!
 
I can personally guarantee there is no such thing as an Italian wedding without wine…
or anything Italian for that matter, without wine!

So I could tell my Baptist friend I believe
Jesus drank wine and be okay?

I think Jesus did in fact drink wine. Was it very high in alcohol? Probably not. There probably was some wine that would get you drunk but Jesus probably only drank it when he was breaking bread at dinner.

What is Jesus telling us about himself in these two verses?

33 For John the Baptist came neither eating food nor drinking wine, and you said, ‘He is possessed by a demon.’ 34 The Son of Man came eating and drinking and you said, ‘Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ (Luke 7:33-34, NABRE)

 
I couldn’t find the commentary. what does
it say or what does it mean?
