My friend and next door neighbor works for the State Store System in Pa. Since he is on a very tight budget like so many of us, he always buys cheap wine, I should say inexpensive wine. So of course His retort to buying cheap wine, oops said it again, he tells everyone that his neighbor turns inexpensive wine to good wine.
So I agree, "the Best". Maybe it's just because it is shared among friends.
People drank water (probably colored red) but they were convinced that there was wine in there glasses. So everyone tasted his favorite wine thanks to the power of imagination
I wrote an article regarding this subject in www.ehibou.com
This is a question of so little importance that I decided to ask it anyway. You've all read the story of Jesus turning water into wine but I don't think the Bible said anything about the quality or the kind of wine it was. I wouldn't think that the Son of God would produce the slop that winos drink or the cheap stuff that you can buy at a supermarket for a couple of bucks for a gallon of it. It doesn't even mention if it was a red wine or a white wine but it only stands to reason that if this was truly a supernatural event that it must have been the best wine that's ever been produced in the history of winemaking. Bottles of the most expensive French wines would taste like dishwater in comparison. Does anyone have anything to add to this thought provoking question?
He didn't make wine at all. Jesus was way ahead of his time. It was he, you see, that is credited with inventing the whole water into wine chemistry experiment displaying the properties of pH change.
People were partying, ran out of booze and Cana being in a dry county, well they just couldn't go to the store to get more wine. It was too far to "go across the river." Jesus saw that the people were sloshed and knew he could get away with this trick.
When people weren't watching, he made the water slightly alkaline by adding a little sodium carbonate to the jugs. He also hid a few drops of phenophthalein solution in the bottom of several wine glasses.
When he got everyone's attention, he said, "Watch this!" and poured the alkaline water into the wine glass to convert the phenolphthalein to its red form. The guests were amazed!
Knowing that phenolphtalein is not toxic in low concentrations, he told the guests to go ahead and drink. What he didn't tell them is that phenolpthalein has a laxative effect in very low concentrations! He laughed and laughed about that one the next day.
Though Jesus is credited with this, Moses had done it WAY earlier with the whole "Turn the Nile into Blood" stunt.
It's all a great big misinterpretation. He didn't make wine. He made whine. "Oh for heaven's sake, what's the matter with this water?"
