It is used in various Old Testament passages to describe the place where grape juice is collected during the winemaking process. Usage: The term ὑπολήνιον is used in the context of winemaking, specifically referring to the collection area for grape juice during the pressing process. It is a term that appears in discussions of agricultural practices in ancient times, particularly in relation to vineyards and wine production. Context: The term ὑπολήνιον is a specific term used to describe the lower part of a winepress system in ancient viticulture. In biblical times, winepresses were essential for the production of wine, a staple in the diet and culture of the ancient Near East. The winepress typically consisted of two main parts: the upper vat, where grapes were trodden, and the ὑπολήνιον, the lower vat, where the juice flowed and was collected.
