Why would that even matter ??

Wine at that time was more of a vinegarish taste
-
We were not there.

The Bible doesn’t say so we don’t know.

Unfermented.
Otherwise Jesus caused people to get drunk.
Alcohol is man made.The man there said it tasted better.
Grape juice tastes very good.God says dont look upon wine when or sparkles.
He says that people that drink alcohol are not wise too .It stings like a viper bite.

Whether or not it is fermented doesn’t matter. What does matter is that we do not make erroneous conclusions from God Word for bad indulgences.
-
there are some bad answers here motivated by anachronisms and eisegesis.
Meaning comes from grammar and context. First, οίνος means wine…the fermented pressings for grapes. There is not a word for “grape juice” in Koine Greek. The closest we come is οἶνος νέος, new wine, or the fresh pressed juice. But even this is understood to be in the early stages of fermentation, hence the warning to be care of it.
Linguistically, it makes no sense to command one to not get drunk on οίνος if it is unfermented because it would be impossible….it makes no sense to use the example of “new wine” in “old skins” if its unfermented, because the skins wouldn’t expand.
Bottom line, it was fermented, because that is what the word means, and what the use demands in the context of a wedding.

Why does it matter
-
Fermented, OBVIOUSLY
The governor of the feast praised it. Normally the ‘good stuff’ is rolled out first, and once people ‘GOT DRUNK’, cheap wine was supplied
This feast, however, speaking of the Wine Jesus made, was called the ‘good stuff”NO ONE ON THE PLANET can confuse juice and fermented wine!!!
BTW, in scripture, NEW WINE is juice, it is unfermented.
100% of the time, WINE is fermented, and called wine. -
Why why why why is this even a question what ever he made it was good . The point of this question is ………?
-
What kind of wine is unfermented? That would be grape juice.
-
Fermented end of discussion
-
Strong’s no. oinos (see below), gleukos (see below). properly “must”; sometimes rendered as “wine,” “new wine,” or “sweet wine.” It can represent juice at any stage in the fermentation process, and in some places it “represents rather wine made from the first drippings of the juice before the winepress was trodden.

Wine is wine. Look st the comment from the host
-
That mug was fermented! No evidence to believe it wasnt
-
One who had the power to raise Lazarus from the dead had the power to make any kind of wine: fermented or not. So we know he made wine of the kind people were using at the time.
-
The word wine in this passage is the SAME in Thes. Where it says to not be “drunk with wine as the manner of some.” You can’t get drunk on grape juice. Jesus made fermented wine.
-
The wine of Jesus day is. Ot the same wine of today it Was used to make water drank able
-
Water
-
Wine is by definition fermented otherwise it would just be grape juice.
-
Do you want to taste too ?
-
We should remember that back then there weren’t that many options. And clean water was harder to find,drinking wine was ok, but of course not to excess,just like today
-
“Every man at a wedding PARTY brings out his best non-alcoholic grape juice first. Then when everyone is drunk they switch to cheaper non-alcoholic grape juice, but you have saved the best non-alcoholic grape juice until now!”
-John nothing.“And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.”
John 2:10These “unfermented” cowardly feminized wimpy spineless jellyfish have pared the claws of the Lion of Judah and turned him into a docile housecat for pale priests and pious old ladies.
It was WINE! bunch of babies.

Is… is this sarcasm? ?
-
It was a miracle wine. No fermentation. No alcohol. It tastes good. God can do anything good.

Bar Tender: Jesus, I’m afraid I’m going to have to cut you off. From now on, all you can have is water.
Jesus: No problem. . . I can work with water.

God’s word says “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is a brawler, and whoever is led astray by it is not wise” (Proverbs 20:1).
-
Text says it was “the best wine”… what more needs to be added?
-
Wine wine….. Hey how many angels can stand on a pin ?
-
Unfermented wine is by definition juice. Wine. The Bible has condemnation on being drunkard, not drinking.
