10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good WINE; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good WINE until now.
I had learned this years ago, but I needed to brush up on what I've learned. The word WINE from this passage does not indicate an alcoholic drink as most people would assume. The word WINE from these verses is derived from the Greek word "Oinos" which means fruit of the vine and not necessarily an alcoholic drink. I really do not think that Jesus would 'produce' something that people would cause others to get drunk, seeing how it is a sin to be drunk. Also understand that this passage does not imply anything that involves fermentation, as I have said "Oinos" simply means friut of the vine.
