I can tell you that it was not only wine, but
the finest wine any of them had ever tasted;
the father of the Bride was amazed because he had made every effort to purchase the finest available for the reception, and yet when he had tasted this particular wine, he said there wasn't any to compare to it.
Thats because wine is symbolic for the blood of Christ, which is the only way you can get saved; so, naturally there would be
"none other like it". There is a deeper meaning and fuller thought to every single thing Christ did or said while in the flesh.
Why? Because all of it, regardless of how
simple or insignificant it may seem at first to the reader, ALL of it is a teaching. Christ
was/is the most extrordinary teacher of all time. You are a wise-***, aren't you???
I say that with a warm smile, honestly.
But this is something to consider: When Christ returns, he ushers in a 1000-yr. period of teaching and disipline. He will
be teaching then, and hopefully some of the
stubborn people who are simply unable to be taught anything (because of course they already know everything) will be taught, and
hopefully saved. We'll see.......

Did they even have white grapes at that time? I suspect they are the result of man's tinkering,but don't know. I think It would have been red since wine was used to remember The Messiah's blood shed for our sins. The host said the wine Jesus made was "the best". It came from local water (used for the Jews ceremonial washing) that had been placed in six twenty to thirty gallon stone jars. Chablis? Chardonay? That brings up another question? Where did the French come from?

Hmm... good question. I'm not up on the kinds of wines that were produced from that region during that time period. I would have loved to have tasted it though, the bible says it was some pretty good stuff.
John 2: 9 When, now, the director of the feast tasted the water that had been turned into wine but did not know what its source was, although those ministering who had drawn out the water knew, the director of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him: “Every other man puts out the fine wine first, and when people are intoxicated, the inferior. You have reserved the fine wine until now.”

The Gospel doesn't tell us what colour it was. The steward asked the bridegroom why he'd kept the best stuff until last, so it was probably pretty good. Mind you, this was a Jewish wedding (they go on for days) and they had drunk the place dry, so they probably had no idea what they were drinking!
The story is given as a narrative rather than as a parable. However, the imagery is clear. The idea of doing God's will (the Kingdom of God) was often compared to a wedding feast in Jewish literature. Jesus is depicted as the new wine who had come to do away with the old law - represented by the stone jars of water used for ritual ablutions.

there is not any biblical verse that announces that the wine replaced into alcoholic, besides the undeniable fact that it is traditionally wonderful that it replaced into. additionally, there is not any Christian regulation that announces ingesting is a sin. There are biblical verses that say drunkenness and debauchery are sins, yet no longer enjoying a pitcher of wine with dinner or a pitcher of champagne on new years or perchance a lager at a back backyard barbecue. On yet another notice, i'm going to never comprehend why it incredibly is this form of massive subject between Christians. will we please see the massive photograph!?! truthfully, you may ask why Jesus did this, no if there replaced into alcohol in contact or no longer. that would not be counted. He did the miracle for the host of the celebration. It replaced right into a marriage reception and back then it replaced into culturally unacceptable to expire of lodging of any form on your visitors. It replaced into so unacceptable that the marriage visitors might have legally robbed him of high priced possessions and raided his abode in the event that they wished to. it incredibly is the reason Jesus grew to become the water to wine.

Pls. refer to answer from Reallytrue101 above for details. The point is that Jesus performed a miracle. Now I have a valid question for you: Why is it relevant to you what kind of wine it was?

I am not sure but nowadays he would have committed a number of federal and state crimes, serving untaxed liquor/wine, exceeding the annual limit on homebrew (200 gallons since he was married, LOL), operating a brewery without a permit, knowingly serving intoxicated guests, etc.

It was Spiritual or Symbolic wine .
Previously there were two ceremonies , one for everyone where water was drunk , and a second , more secret ceremony only for high level church members , where wine was drunk.
Jesus is said to have ‘ Turned water into wine ‘ , when he opened up the second ceremony to the general temple congregation.
