506. Filtered Wine

Isaiah 25:6
 
Isaiah 25:6. A feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
This refers to wines that are kept long with the dregs mixed with them, and therefore old and strong. They are refined or filtered by being strained through a cloth sieve, thus separating the liquor from the lees. The wine in the East is said to be usually turbid, and requires straining before it is fit for use.
