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.
