Answer 2

vinegar means sour wine

Most probably, both gall and myrrh were added to the vinegar. The text does not explicitly state this, nor does it exclude the possibility. Nevertheless, The ancients used to infuse myrrh into wine to give it a more agreeable fragrance and flavour. This means that it is quite possible that the vinegar already had myrrh in it, as would be expected among Roman soldiers, and gall was later added. Each writer focused on a different aspect.

Mark 15:23 says that the wine was “drugged with myrrh,” which would improve the flavor. Apparently, both gall and myrrh were in the wine Christ refused. As he reached the climax of his earthly course, he did not want to be drugged or stupefied. Jesus desired to be in full command of his senses in order to be faithful to death.

He also could have been offered a drink 2 seperate times which is very likely.

I hope this helps.
