Wine
Lees
“Wines on the lees” are wines left undisturbed on their sediment to mature (
Isa. 25:6
6
And in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. (Isaiah 25:6)
). The expression “settled on the lees” is used figuratively of
Moab
, which had not been disturbed as other nations (
Jer. 48:11
11
Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed. (Jeremiah 48:11)
). Also for those who in
Jerusalem
remained in the
Jordan
valley
indifferent and undisturbed amidst the evils upon which punishments were threatened (
Zeph. 1:12
12
And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The Lord will not do good, neither will he do evil. (Zephaniah 1:12)
). A very significant
type
of the
poor
apathetic world, and of the self-satisfied and unconcerned
spirit
of Christendom.

“Wine” From
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
There are several
Hebrew
words translated wine, and though various expressions are attached to it as “sweet,” “
new
,” “strong,” “good,” “mixed,” “spiced,” “on the
lees
,” all are wine; and the wine was intoxicating, as seen already in the days of
Noah
(
Gen. 9:21
21
And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. (Genesis 9:21)
). Intemperance is the abuse of it, and against such abuse there are abundant protests and warnings in the
scripture
. Wine is mentioned with
corn
and
oil
, among the good
gifts
wherewith
God
would bless His earthly people (
Deut. 7:13
13
And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. (Deuteronomy 7:13)
;
Psa. 104:15
15
And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart. (Psalm 104:15)
). It was daily offered in
the temple
as a drink
offering
(
Num. 28:7
7
And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto the Lord for a drink offering. (Numbers 28:7)
).
Wine was created by the
Lord
in His first recorded miracle (
John 2:3-10
3
And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
4
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
5
His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
6
And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
7
Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8
And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
9
When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
10
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 2:3‑10)
). He was blasphemously spoken of as a wine-bibber; and He said at the last Passover, “I will drink no more of the fruit of the
vine
, until that
day
that I drink it new in the
kingdom
of God” (
Mark 14:25
25
Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God. (Mark 14:25)
). He also instituted the Lord’s
Supper
with the
cup
of wine.
Paul
recommended
Timothy
to take a little wine for his frequent sickness; and a
bishop
must not be given to much wine. There is therefore adequate evidence that wine is regarded as a beneficent gift of God, of which
man
may make a moderate use. If, however, a man has no
power
over his appetite, doubtless he had better abstain from wine altogether. Drunkards shall not inherit the kingdom of God (
1 Cor. 6:10
10
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:10)
).
