1 | wine and acohol | 1 Tim 5:23 | Net | 111994 | ||
Who said that people had to drink wine in place of water? That would most definitely be impossible. I just find it impossible to believe that Jesus made wine with no or little alcohol. I never said that I possess any credentials to override the medical community. I stated that those were my opinions. You certainly read a lot into my statement that I never said. | ||||||

I think that alcohol in minimal amounts during pregnancy is fine. That's just my opinion. People have been drinking around the world for centuries. I have known people who drank alcohol during pregnancy in moderation and their babies are all just fine. I had a few drinks when I was pregnant as well and my son is highly intelligent. I just don't think that it's a valid argument to say that Jesus wouldn't have made alcoholic wine because there were pregnant women present and God knows that alcohol is bad for babies. Yeast nutrients consist of DAP, or diammonium phosphate. The yeast needs nitrogen and phosphate. This is usually added to hurry along a sluggish fermentation. Once again, it is illegal to add sugar to the fermentation in California. It is only legal to add sugar where the grapes won't ripen to full maturity(sugar level). This is in places like France and Germany. In the winery I worked in in Napa Valley, they only added sulfur and yeast to the fermentations. That is typical of the wineries there. The grapes in Napa are picked at a high sugar concentration usually so there is no need to add sugar anyway. The yeast can produce levels of 12-13percent alcohol by volume on a regular basis without adding sugar. Higher levels of alcohol are taxed at a higher rate. |

OK I have to respond to this as a student of winemaking. Wine is OK in moderation to drink while pregnant. I drink wine occassionally in moderation and I am breastfeeding. The argument that the women who might be pregnant at the feast couldn't drink wine is no good. They could drink a little. In addition, in bible days, people often drank wine diluted with water because the water was not microbiologically stable. The wine killed the "bad stuff" in the water and made it better to drink. Also, you do not have to add sugar to wine to make it. This is laughable. The grape berries have enough sugar for the yeast to make alcohol out of. The yeast that makes bread also produces alcohol. That's what yeast does. It ferments the sugars into CO2 and alcohol. Both are produced in bread and wine. I am shocked to see how there is a lack of understanding of how wine is actually made. It is illegal to add sugar in California, where I live. I am from Napa. I know more than the average person about making wine. I've worked in a winery before and I'm in school to be a winemaker, as I said before. The wine made in biblical times was not as drinkable as the wines produced today, therefore it was common to drink the wine diluted so it didn't taste so bad. The bible does not say to not drink water and drink only wine, it says to not just drink water and drink a little wine. To quote a famous saying, wine is one thing, drunkenness another. |
