Topical Encyclopedia The first mention of wine in the Bible is found in the Book of Genesis, specifically in the narrative concerning Noah after the flood. This initial reference sets the stage for understanding the role and perception of wine throughout the biblical text.Genesis 9:20-21 : "Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard. But when he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and uncovered himself inside his tent." In this passage, Noah, who is described as a "man of the soil," becomes the first recorded individual to cultivate a vineyard and produce wine. The context of this mention is significant, as it occurs shortly after the flood, a pivotal event in biblical history. Noah's actions in planting a vineyard and consuming its produce highlight the agricultural practices that were reestablished as humanity began to repopulate the earth. The narrative quickly transitions to the effects of wine consumption, as Noah becomes intoxicated and exposes himself within his tent. This incident introduces the dual nature of wine as both a product of human ingenuity and a potential source of moral and social challenges. The text implicitly warns of the dangers of overindulgence, as Noah's drunkenness leads to a series of events that result in a curse upon Canaan, the son of Ham, Noah's youngest son. The first mention of wine in Genesis thus serves as a foundational reference for its symbolic and literal implications throughout Scripture. Wine is depicted as a gift of creation, capable of bringing joy and sustenance, yet it also carries the potential for misuse and moral failure. This duality is echoed in later biblical texts, where wine is associated with celebration and blessing, as well as with cautionary tales of excess and its consequences. The account of Noah and the vineyard underscores the importance of temperance and the responsible enjoyment of God's provisions. It also foreshadows the complex role that wine will play in the lives of God's people, as both a symbol of divine blessing and a test of human character.
