Lets also not forget that wine represents the blood of Christ. It has to be PURE and UNTAINTED.

Logic, Matthew 26:27-29 describes the cup, the fruit of the vine,and the blood. It is assumed that the fruit of the vine is wine.1 Corinthians 11:21 describes people getting drunk at the Lords Supper, again it is assumed the "cup" is wine.While not refering to the blood of Christ, Revelation 14:18-20 pictures gathering "grapes" from the earth and throwing these "grapes" into the wine press of the wrath of God, and out from this "wine press" flows blood.So there is a correlation between the imagery of wine and blood, but I still don't get what the original post was about...
I'm sorry, your right too. Brain fart.
Don't ask me how it happened but this was a reply to another post regarding the consumption of alcohol.My bad (my brain fart).....walks away with head hung down in shame...lol :-P
