News: [Question] Wine or Grape Juice?

I actually brew beer and make wine on occasions. The process that they would have used in the times of Jesus to make grape juice would have resulted in fermentation fairly quickly with wild yeast (hands, feet and off of whatever you crushed the grape with). Without refrigeration, one would not be able to hold the fermentation process from proceeding. Today wine-makers spend a lot of money to sterilize their equipment prior to crushing grapes, their containers, etc... Some even boil the byproduct of the crushing to ensure that all wild yeast has been killed. All yeast needs is proper temperature (which they had in abundance) and sugar (which the juice was rich in) to grow. Wild yeast will produce alcohol as well. The alcohol content would be less than what wine-makers today achieve, because most wild yeast dies in a lower alcohol content setting. So, I would agree with LDS...in that the juice wasn't really grape juice (only in this form for a short short period) and it wasn't the same as what you can by retail now. [See Similar Topics]
