Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g3631 Greek: oinos

Wine:

is the general word for "wine." The mention of the bursting of the wineskins, Mat 9:17; Mar 2:22; Luk 5:37, implies fermentation. See also Eph 5:18 (cp. Jhn 2:10; 1Ti 3:8; Tts 2:3). In Mat 27:34, the RV has "wine" (AV, "vinegar," translating the inferior reading oxos).

The drinking of "wine" could be a stumbling block and the Apostle enjoins abstinence in this respect, as in others, so as to avoid giving an occasion of stumbling to a brother, Rom 14:21. Contrast 1Ti 5:23, which has an entirely different connection. The word is used metaphorically

(a) of the evils ministered to the nations by religious Babylon, Rev 14:8; 17:2; 18:3;

(b) of the contents of the cup of Divine wrath upon the nations and Babylon, Rev 14:10; 16:19; 19:15.

2 Strong's Number: g1098 Greek: gleukos

Wine:

denotes sweet "new wine," or must, Act 2:13, where the accusation shows that it was intoxicant and must have been undergoing fermentation some time. In the Sept., Job 32:19.

Note: In instituting the Lord's Supper He speaks of the contents of the cup as the "fruit of the vine." So Mar 14:25.
