If Jesus turned water into wine, were there dregs at the bottom of the wine pitcher?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33145points) January 14th, 2019

What happened to the grapes that would have been needed to make wine? Or was it grapeless wine?

I would assume that since He could turn water into wine, He could destroy the dregs that the average person would have!!!

Yes, the water wasn’t exactly filtered before the wine making.

Yes, and used them to help feed the poor.

It was metaphorical wine, whose dregs existed or not in whatever way his audience responded to them.

Just water dregs.

As long as there are no dreads it should be safe.

Of course not.
It was homeopathic wine. He just added a drop of wine to a lake, and filled the barrels with it.
And then everyone almost died of alcohol poisoning.

In somewhat of a miracle, there was no wine pitcher.

1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.

7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.

9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,

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.

11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

Well, of course, there was no wine pitcher but terre cotta water containers.

Considering that the wine was not made from grapes, and considering that the guests declared that they saved the best wine for after the first wine ran out, I would say there was no sediment.

Had the wine merely been transferred supernaturally from one location to another it might have. But the texts say that the water itself was transformed into wine. And that it was better than the original wine that had run out. But the texts themselves do not stipulate so we cannot say it dogmatically

It was preferable in those days to drink wine instead of water because water could go bad and make one very sick. So having wine was no big deal.
