Answer 1

Sangaria

Answer 2

It's funny, because they actually do have the origins of one grape varietal that was around the middle east at that time, and believe it or not, it's Zinfandel. Zinfandel was brought to the states by southern Italian immigrants and planted in California for the production of communion wine. The Italians called the grape Primitivo, or primative, because even in ancient Rome, it was a old grape type that was more or less growing wild. The theory is that the ancient Greeks, during their era of supremacy, brought the grape with them when to colonized the southn part of the Italian pininsula.

Prior to it's cultivation in Greece, the grape grew wild in the middle east and the extreme southern areas of Serbia and Croatia where it was called Plavich Mali (not sure my spelling it right.)

The facinating thing to me is that Mike Grgich of Grgich Cellars in California always had a theory that this American Zinfandel was the same grape that his family used in the old country, and did extensive research on the subject. Genetic testing proved his theories in tracking the history of the grape, so one very good candidate for the wine Jesus drank at the last supper was a chalice of good old red zinfandel.

Answer 3

i do not recall anywhere in the bible where jesus purchased a fine merlot, or brown bagged a bottle of thunderbird. if i had to say, it would be made from grapes and if it was fermented i have not read that it was any alcoholic quantities, but have read about being intoxicated by the fruit of the vine. so I would only assume that white and reds were available, but I AM NO PRIEST.

Answer 4

Jesus probably drank something that was closer to beer than wine. Grapes were not grown in that region, and wine had to be imported from other countries such as Greece and Rome. Wine was expensive and only the very rich could afford it. Most of the poorer people drank a brew made from fermented grains.

Answer 5

Grapes where different at the time. Lebanon wine is the oldest in the world (still excellent) maybe that wine, red in color in any case. White wine came about much later.
