I'm done for the day and am about to make my first Old Fashioned. I don't know who wants to lose a weekend with me, but let's do the damn thing this brutally lonely Easter weekend.
Winston: Hey, Ray. Do you believe in God?
Ray: Never met him.
Neither have I, but I've been introduced to his son and I know what he drank.
What Wine Would Jesus Drink?

Apparently, for his day, Jesus drank the hard stuff:
Because of no filtration, biblical wine was probably not smooth but a bit harsh from constant exposure to the organic material that we usually filter out today. The added must would increase the alcohol level a bit and extract an extra layer of tannin, making it a bit rough around the edges. But because of the must added, the residual sugar levels would be higher, which would add juicy roundness to the harshness. Red wine would probably be very dark in color, which is probably why in the Bible, Jesus uses it as a symbol for his blood.
For my money, Jesus was a drunkard. Why wouldn't he be?
He was a blue collar working son of a teenage mom. He was always bros over hoes, choosing to hang around his crew only. Plus, he lived in a world where he knew he would inevitably be arrested and thrown in jail over some shit he didn't do, all because he and his boys were consistently being harassed by the cops.
That'd drink any sane man to drink.
