|The Greek word '''οἶνος''' is used to describe wine since the days of Homer.  It could mean "fruit of the vine" and was not fermented, as it commonly is today. Repeated references in the Book of Proverbs tell their readers specifically to overindulge in  fermented grape juice. Furthermore, at least five methods of preservation were known to the ancients{{fact}}, methods that avoided fermentation, long before [[Louis Pasteur]] would invent his pressure-cooking method. However, the use of grape juice isn't well documented or widespread. The bottles described are made from leather (ἀσκός), so they are unsuitable to contain not fermented grape juice for even a couple of days under the weather conditions of Palestine.
