There is no difficulty in preserving the juice of grapes, or new wine, unfermented by various methods described by ancient writers. Thus Columella, who lived during the Apostolic days, tells us to fill bottles with fresh grape-juice and seal or cork them carefully and sink them in a well of cold water and fermentation will not ensue. I have tried it successfully; any one can do the same. Next, fill a new or clean bottle with new wine just pressed from the grapes up to its neck, then pour about half an inch of sweet oil on the surface of the wine and cork it carefully, leaving a little space between the cork and oil, and stand the bottle in a cellar, and it will keep. I have three bottles thus preserved free from fermentation for over three years; the cork must not be removed and the bottle must not be shaken. Again, heat the juice to 185 [degrees] Fahr., or to the boiling-point if you please, bottle, cork, and seal it, and it will never ferment. Now we will turn hastily to the Old Testament. In Isaiah xvi, 10, we read: "The treaders shall tread out no wine (_yayin_) in their presses." Here we have the juice of grapes, as it is trodden from grapes, called wine. In Jeremiah xl, 10, 12, we read: "But gather ye wine (_yayin_) and summer fruits and oils," and we read that they "gathered wine and summer fruits very much." Here we have the juice of grapes called wine, as it is gathered in with other fruits. Chapter xlviii, 33: "And I have caused wine (_yayin_) to fail from the wine-presses." Dr. Adam Clarke says: "The Hebrew, Greek, and Latin words which are rendered 'wine' mean simply the expressed juice of the grape." This juice, like our cider, may be fermented or unfermented, and it is still called by the same name. Here, then, in both the New and Old Testaments, we have the unfermented juice of grapes distinctly recognized as wine, and called wine; and all admit that the fermented juice of grapes is called wine, consequently there are two wines. And distinguished scholars say:-- "In all the passages where the good wine is named (in the Bible), there is no lisp of warning, no intimation of danger, no hint of disapprobation, but always of decided approval. How bold and strongly marked is the contrast! "The _one_ the cause of intoxication, of violence, and of woes; "The _other_ the occasion of comfort and of peace. "The _one_ the cause of irreligion and of self-destruction; "The _other_ the devout offering of piety on the altar of God. "The _one_ the symbol of the divine wrath; "The _other_ the symbol of spiritual blessings. "The _one_ the emblem of eternal damnation; "The _other_ the emblem of eternal salvation."--_Bible Wines_.
