sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: A drink from grapes, used in offerings and in daily life. The Prophets and Writings also warn that wine can take away understanding, and use diluted wine as a picture of something spoiled, and lack of wine as a sign of sorrow. Interpretation: Wine is used in blessings, such as Kiddush on Shabbat and festivals, to mark days as holy. Tradition also teaches that wine brings joy but must be used with care, and the prophets' words about wine that fails are read as pictures of a land under judgment. In the primary lessons: In everyday life, adults may drink wine with meals; in safety and health lessons, alcohol is only for adults and can harm the body. In science, grapes ferment (yeast turns sugar into alcohol). In stories and history, wine is served at feasts. Phrases: red wine, white wine, a glass of wine, wine-red.
