Like most people, I do like a glass of wine sociably or with a meal.  When observing the menu in a restaurant the menu will say – ONE GLASS OF WINE IS SO MANY DOLLARS.  So, when you make a choice and the glass is brought to your table it is ONE-HALF OF A GLASS!  Are we being ripped off?  I think the next time I buy  wine in public – I will asked the question – is this really a full glass or half of a glass?  You know a lot of times people look at life that way!

As we all know wine is the fermented juice of the grape or some other fruit.  No one knows who the first wine maker was although we know the Egyptians knew how to make it early in their civilization.  Wine had a practical reason in the beginning than drinking it for pleasure.  In early days, people had so little pure drinking water that people who drank the wine  did not get sick as often as those who drank the water.  Many countries drink wine instead of water for drinking.  A verse that probably most of us have heard:  “A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and thou.”  Also, the Bible refers to wine and many religions use wine in their services.
