[4] : Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

wine
   the common hebrew word for wine is _yayin_, from a root meaning
   "to boil up," "to be in a ferment." others derive it from a root
   meaning "to tread out," and hence the juice of the grape trodden
   out. the greek word for wine is _oinos_, and the latin _vinun_.
   but besides this common hebrew word, there are several others
   which are thus rendered.
   
     1. ashishah 2 sam. 6:19; 1 chr. 16:3; cant. 2:5; hos. 3:1,
   which, however, rather denotes a solid cake of pressed grapes,
   or, as in the revised version, a cake of raisins.
   
     2. 'asis, "sweet wine," or "new wine," the product of the
   same year cant. 8:2; isa. 49:26; joel 1:5; 3:18; amos 9:13,
   from a root meaning "to tread," hence juice trodden out or
   pressed out, thus referring to the method by which the juice is
   obtained. the power of intoxication is ascribed to it.
   
     3. hometz. see vinegar.
   
     4. hemer, deut. 32:14 rendered "blood of the grape" isa.
   27:2 "red wine", ezra 6:9; 7:22; dan. 5:1, 2, 4. this word
   conveys the idea of "foaming," as in the process of
   fermentation, or when poured out. it is derived from the root
   _hamar_, meaning "to boil up," and also "to be red," from the
   idea of boiling or becoming inflamed.
   
     5. 'enabh, a grape deut. 32:14. the last clause of this
   verse should be rendered as in the revised version, "and of the
   blood of the grape 'enabh thou drankest wine hemer." in hos.
   3:1 the phrase in authorized version, "flagons of wine," is in
   the revised version correctly "cakes of raisins." comp. gen.
   49:11; num. 6:3; deut. 23:24, etc., where this hebrew word is
   rendered in the plural "grapes."
   
     6. mesekh, properly a mixture of wine and water with spices
   that increase its stimulating properties isa. 5:22. ps. 75:8,
   "the wine yayin is red; it is full of mixture mesekh;" prov.
   23:30, "mixed wine;" isa. 65:11, "drink offering" r.v.,
   "mingled wine".
   
     7. tirosh, properly "must," translated "wine" deut. 28:51;
   "new wine" prov. 3:10; "sweet wine" micah 6:15; r.v.,
   "vintage". this hebrew word has been traced to a root meaning
   "to take possession of" and hence it is supposed that tirosh is
   so designated because in intoxicating it takes possession of the
   brain. among the blessings promised to esau gen. 27:28 mention
   is made of "plenty of corn and tirosh." palestine is called "a
   land of corn and tirosh" deut. 33:28; comp. isa. 36:17. see
   also deut. 28:51; 2 chr. 32:28; joel 2:19; hos. 4:11, "wine
   yayin and new wine tirosh take away the heart".
   
     8. sobhe root meaning "to drink to excess," "to suck up,"
   "absorb", found only in isa. 1:22, hos. 4:18 "their drink;"
   gesen. and marg. of r.v., "their carouse", and nah. 1:10
   "drunken as drunkards;" lit., "soaked according to their
   drink;" r.v., "drenched, as it were, in their drink", i.e.,
   according to their sobhe.
   
     9. shekar, "strong drink," any intoxicating liquor; from a
   root meaning "to drink deeply," "to be drunken", a generic term
   applied to all fermented liquors, however obtained. num. 28:7,
   "strong wine" r.v., "strong drink". it is sometimes
   distinguished from wine, c.g., lev. 10:9, "do not drink wine
   yayin nor strong drink shekar;" num. 6:3; judg. 13:4, 7;
   isa. 28:7 in all these places rendered "strong drink".
   translated "strong drink" also in isa. 5:11; 24:9; 29:9; 56:12;
   prov. 20:1; 31:6; micah 2:11.
   
     10. yekebh deut. 16:13, but in r.v. correctly
   "wine-press", a vat into which the new wine flowed from the
   press. joel 2:24, "their vats;" 3:13, "the fats;" prov. 3:10,
   "thy presses shall burst out with new wine tirosh;" hag. 2:16;
   jer. 48:33, "wine-presses;" 2 kings 6:27; job. 24:11.
   
     11. shemarim only in plural, "lees" or "dregs" of wine. in
   isa. 25:6 it is rendered "wines on the lees", i.e., wine that
   has been kept on the lees, and therefore old wine.
   
     12. mesek, "a mixture," mixed or spiced wine, not diluted
   with water, but mixed with drugs and spices to increase its
   strength, or, as some think, mingled with the lees by being
   shaken ps. 75:8; prov. 23:30.
   
     in acts 2:13 the word _gleukos_, rendered "new wine," denotes
   properly "sweet wine." it must have been intoxicating.
   
     in addition to wine the hebrews also made use of what they
   called _debash_, which was obtained by boiling down must to
   one-half or one-third of its original bulk. in gen. 43:11 this
   word is rendered "honey." it was a kind of syrup, and is called
   by the arabs at the present day dibs. this word occurs in the
   phrase "a land flowing with milk and honey" debash, ex. 3:8,
   17; 13:5; 33:3; lev. 20:24; num. 13: 27. see honey.
   
     our lord miraculously supplied wine at the marriage feast in
   cana of galilee john 2:1-11. the rechabites were forbidden the
   use of wine jer. 35. the nazarites also were to abstain from
   its use during the period of their vow num. 6:1-4; and those
   who were dedicated as nazarites from their birth were
   perpetually to abstain from it judg. 13:4, 5; luke 1:15; 7:33.
   the priests, too, were forbidden the use of wine and strong
   drink when engaged in their sacred functions lev. 10:1, 9-11.
   "wine is little used now in the east, from the fact that
   mohammedans are not allowed to taste it, and very few of other
   creeds touch it. when it is drunk, water is generally mixed with
   it, and this was the custom in the days of christ also. the
   people indeed are everywhere very sober in hot climates; a
   drunken person, in fact, is never seen", geikie's life of
   christ. the sin of drunkenness, however, must have been not
   uncommon in the olden times, for it is mentioned either
   metaphorically or literally more than seventy times in the
   bible.
   
     a drink-offering of wine was presented with the daily
   sacrifice ex. 29:40, 41, and also with the offering of the
   first-fruits lev. 23:13, and with various other sacrifices
   num. 15:5, 7, 10. wine was used at the celebration of the
   passover. and when the lord's supper was instituted, the wine
   and the unleavened bread then on the paschal table were by our
   lord set apart as memorials of his body and blood.
   
     several emphatic warnings are given in the new testament
   against excess in the use of wine luke 21:34; rom. 13:13; eph.
   5:18; 1 tim. 3:8; titus 1:7.
