Wine was always mixed
with water…
normally 3 or 4 parts water
to one part wine. This was
done to disinfect and make
the water safe to drink.
We clarified that the use of wine in the
Bible was for disinfecting water; like our
modern chlorine. If you drank water
without some wine in it you risked
dysentery, cholera, e-coli,
microsporidiosis, hepatitis or literally
dozens of other diseases from bacteria,
viruses, protozoans and parasites. These
diseases were often fatal. Even today the
WHO says water borne diseases are still
the world’s leading killer
