For instance if I drink a $1500 bottle of Petrus Pomerol merlot will I be closer to Jesus than if I drink a $10 bottle of wine from a local vineyard?

Columbian, you could at least spell "you're" properly if you're going to be calling someone an idiot.

How does that have anything to do with being close to Jesus? No particular wine represents Jesus blood more than another. Well.. unless you're Catholic I suppose it might.. but they have a lot of strange beliefs. (Worshiping cookies and whatnot)
Columbian: You're an idiot.
Sphinx: I personally don't drink my whine. But then, I don't know that it's even possible.
uncforever: Yes, the Bible does say Jesus drank wine.
"For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, 'He has a demon.' The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, 'Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.'" (Luke 7:33-34)

If you are Catholic, the cost doesn't matter, the "Transubstation" is what matters.
The wine itself doesn't make you close to Jesus.
In catholicism you don't have to drink the wine if you have a problem with it.
For Christians, it is the Symbolism of the wine and the "remberance" of the last supper that makes it special.
Many Christian Churches use Grape juice instead of wine, I THINK because they don't want people who have problems with alcohol to avoid church or not partake in the symbolism.
Your question is either a joke or shows PROFOUND ignorance -- which is OK, questions are the beginning of faith.
I hope you are OPEN to seeking actual answers and not making snap judgements or jokes.

And nowhere in the Bible will you find where it says Jesus drank wine, he was impinent , ,,Pure...He gave it to his disciples, but Jesus didn't drink of it...For if it makes a man to stumble, damnation will be upon him...It was fruit of the vine..they had no way of fertilization back then like we do today..and I don't think a christian would go into a church and drink wine..We use grape juice, as in remembrance of him..Alcoholic beverages should not be partaken in a Holy Place...God is angry at that.

That takes the cake for the worst question of the day.
Do you really think we can pay a price for that?
I'm not in the least bit religious, but your question, along with your follow up about the spelling mistake, is ............... (never mind).

If you drink enough of any kind of wine, valued or not you'll be closer to Jesus, as long as you believed in Jesus before you drank it.

Wine is wine and symbolism is symbolism. The cost doesn't matter. It could be free, or cost the entire planet, but the symbolism would be the same.

No, it makes no difference. And besides drinking whine will not make you closer to jesus if your just sittin at home drinking a bottle of whine. Its about the ceramony, not the whine.

I'd say Jesus wouldn't go for pretentious expensive wine. He might appreciate the cheaper variety.
