“Wine” is a kind of drink. It is usually made from the juice of a fruit called grapes. To make wine, grapes are crushed in a winepress so that the juice comes out. The juice eventually ferments and alcohol forms in it.
A "winepress" was a large container or open place where grapes were crushed. Crushing the grapes caused the juice to flow out. People collected the juice and used it to make wine. The word "winepress" is also used as a metaphor. The word is used to talk about God punishing wicked people (see: Isaiah 63:1-4; Revelation 14:19).

The Bible says that Jesus used the “fruit of the vine” at the last supper. He told the disciples that the “fruit of the vine” was his blood that he would shed on the cross for sinners (Matthew 26:28-29; Mark 14:24-25; Luke 22:17-20). Some scholars think the “fruit of the vine” was wine. Other scholars think it was grape juice that did not have alcohol.

However, the Bible warns about people drinking too much wine. Drinking too much wine causes a person to become drunk (Proverbs 20:1; 23:29-31; Romans 13:13; Galatians 5:21; 1 Peter 4:3). Drinking too much alcohol can cause a person to make bad decisions or to sin (Genesis 9:20-27; Ephesians 5:18). Paul taught that church leaders should not drink a lot of wine (1 Timothy 3:8).
