I have tasted the following wines in this Video: Do not try this at home. One of the most fascinating aspects of wine is that it is so deeply intertwined with our culture. A very important reason for this is its immensely strong link to Christianity. The word “wine” is mentioned more than 200 times in the bible and no other plant appears more often in the bible than the vine. Even god was described as a vintner carefully trying to make sure that his vines carry the best fruit. The first thing Noah did after stranding with his arch is to plant a vineyard and he also was the first person to get drunk from wine. Arguably the most important figure when it comes to spreading the interest in wine was not Hugh Johnson, Robert Parker, or Jancis Robinson but Jesus. Jesus’ coming out party as the savior and the first miracle he performed was when he turned water to wine at a wedding in the village of Cana. When Jesus decided to tell his disciples at the Last Supper holding the vessel filled with wine that became the holy grail: This cup is the new covenant in my blood. He created one of the most important rituals in the world and a reason for religious people to plant vines wherever they went to celebrate the Eucharist. But even if there are a lot of references to wine there is very little information in the bible on how the wine from the last supper tasted. Let's give this period a little bit of perspective: At the time when Jesus lived wine production was already fairly widespread. The oldest traces of wine production are from 6000 BC – so wine was by no means a recent invention. When the Romans ruled large parts of Europe, Eastern Asia, and Northern Africa and wherever they went they brought winemaking with them. The wine was also traded and exported between regions and countries so Jesus might have had access to the most famous wine of that time Falernian which was an alcoholic deep amber, white wine from today’s Campania region in Italy – it is pretty unlikely though that a poor carpenter´s son in Palestine would have been able to buy it. Roman scholar Pliny the Elder who lived from 23-79 AD – so roughly during the same period as Jesus – knew all about wine and had written a book on wine. He ranked wine according to quality and talked about dry and sweet wines and the qualities of different vineyards – what we would call terroir today. His approach to rating vineyards and categorizing wines is similar to the way we do this today, suggesting that the wines back then might be similar to today’s wines and that Terroir was relevant back then too. But Pliny was mainly focused on Italy while Jesus spent most of his time in today's Israel so what were the wines like down there? We know that while wine was also just fermented grape juice it was often flavored with Pepper, Tree resin, honey, pomegranate, cinnamon, and much more and also diluted with water.
