In a previous question, numerous Christians noted that the 150 gallons of wine Jesus made at Cana was not fermented. Please address the following points below.

1. Every translations calls it wine, not juice. It the word meant grape juice, the translators would have used that word. None do.

2. People get drunk off wine in many places in the bible. The very first thing Noah does after leaving the ark is plant a vineyard, make wine, get drunk and pass out naked. (Genesis (:20-21). Lot gets so drunk on wine that both his daughters end up raping him over the course of two nights. (Lot 19:30-36)

There are many references to drunk people in the bible from wine (not grape juice).

So what is you case that the 150 gallons of wine Jesus made for this party was non-alcoholic, besides the fact it makes you uncomfortable?
Mim:

Yes, the did have a different word.

I am looking to use a grape juice concentrate because at this time of year I cannot get fresh grape juice where I live. I am looking at making a few batches of wine, but some of the concentrates I’ve found online and elsewhere seem to have had vitamin C (ascorbic acid) added to it. I know this is sometimes added to white wines as an antioxidant, but usually after the fermentation process is complete. Will having this additional/added vitamin C in my juice prior to fermentation/racking stages affect the end product? I want to make sure that my yeast will not stagnate and that the flavor won’t be wholy comprimised. Any and all answers are appreciated, and this community is always so very helpful. Thanks!!

OMG - It is amazing? If your into stuff like that, they have french wine from the 1800’s - There is also the owners private collection which is worth like 27 million or something. Can you imagine, all for some fermented grape juice? - Anyway it is amazing, and the restaurant is very elegant - I loved it.

Is there a yummie warm beverage without alcohol I could offer instead, that maybe even looks a bit like mulled wine and can be drunk from the same glasses?
oh grape juice sounds nice. Thank you! Do you think I could also use elderflower juice, or don’t children like that?

I’m looking for a nice, full bodied, red wine that has a lot of fruit to it, but is still balanced. I would prefer one that was fermented to have a fruit flavor and not with artificial grape juice or sugar added. Anyone have any recommendations on one that I can buy at any local supermarket or liquor store?

Thank you so much!
I live in Dallas, TX by the way. ^_^
You people are great. ^_^

If it’s possible, please list also the year, vineyard, etc.

I really like Sweet Texas Red from Delaney Vineyards, but driving 40 min. to Grapevine and back guzzling premium gas… yeesh. >_<

Thanks for all the answers so far! I’ll go out with a list and start shopping tomorrow. ^_^

Or is grape juice really intended for wine! Isn’t this hypocrisy? But then again, isn’t what Hamas doing in Gaza hypocrisy?

What are typical or common beverages that are nonalcoholic to serve and will satisfy both your man and your friends?All I can think of is limeades, tea, lemoneade, cranberry juice, grape juice or gingerale but all of those just sound so Martha Stewart I need more options for beverages that are nonalcoholic and would cater more to a man and aren’t girly.

Some people define wine as firmented grape juice, never anything but grapes… for thoes of you who feel this way, don’t bother answering… Some people think that wine can be made of anything at all (within reason of course)… Mead is any type of wine made with honey, but traditionaly is made with just honey… but one can make a fruit mead…

Reason? Winemaking is one of my hobbies… but I don’t like grapes much… and I’m curious what people like…

I’d immagine a spiced cranberry mead would be amazing for thanksgiving…

comments, suggestions, ideas, recipes, and whatever else you’d like to submit.

Other Notes: I’m allergec to strawberry and refuse to use metabisulphate.
Wine CAN be made of virtualy anything… theoreticaly, you could make wine from lawn clippings, I doubt you’d want to drink it, but it could be done… I mostly want suggestions and ideas.
