Apr 9, 2021 at 21:34 comment added SecondSun24 Small point of clarification: "Nazarenes" above should be "nazarites" as a Nazarene is someone from the town of Nazareth. A nazarite is someone who has taken the nazarite vow, which includes abstention from grapes, wine, and all derived foods. Yeshua of Nazareth was a Nazarene. However, we see no indication that He was also a nazarite.
Apr 8, 2021 at 14:38 comment added Ray Butterworth While 5% might be low for wine, it is standard for beer, and it is possible to get drunk by drinking beer. Perhaps you're thinking of de-alcoholized wine or beer, which typically has less than point-5% (½%) alcohol.

Apr 7, 2021 at 7:07 comment added James K Port and Sherry are fortified. Most "wine" is not fortified. Wine yeasts are quite capable of fermenting up to 15% Wines are commonly chaptalised (have sugar added prior to fermentation) but even without this, European grapes have plenty of sugar to reach the mid teens in alcohol.
