Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: 3196 יַיִן (yayin): The most common Hebrew word for wine, used throughout the Old Testament to denote fermented grape juice.
8492 תִּירוֹשׁ (tirosh): Often translated as "new wine" or "fresh wine," referring to the early stages of fermentation or unfermented grape juice.

This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the term οἶνος, its significance in biblical texts, and its cultural and theological implications.

Usage: The term οἶνος appears frequently in the New Testament, signifying both literal wine and, in some contexts, symbolically representing joy, abundance, or the blood of Christ in the sacrament of communion.

Context: Cultural and Historical Context: In the ancient Mediterranean world, wine was a staple of daily life, often safer to drink than water due to its fermentation process. It was used in various social and religious settings, including weddings, feasts, and offerings.
Biblical References:
Miracle at Cana: In John 2:1-11, Jesus performs His first miracle by turning water into wine at a wedding in Cana, demonstrating His divine authority and the joy of the new covenant.
The Last Supper: In Matthew 26:27-29, during the Last Supper, Jesus uses wine as a symbol of His blood, establishing the practice of communion: "Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, 'Drink from it, all of you. This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.'"
Paul's Instructions: In 1 Timothy 5:23, Paul advises Timothy, "Stop drinking only water and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses," indicating its medicinal use.
Symbolism: Wine often symbolizes joy, blessing, and the Holy Spirit's work. However, the Bible also warns against excessive consumption leading to drunkenness (Ephesians 5:18).
Theological Implications: Wine in the New Testament is closely associated with the new covenant and the sacrificial blood of Christ, highlighting themes of redemption and celebration in the Christian faith.
