What would Jesus drink?

By Rob Vischer

Joe Carter reflects on the question that has haunted conscientious evangelicals for more than 100 years.  I post it here for two reasons: 1) to express thanks for the fact that, while many questions haunt conscientious Catholics, this is not one of them; and 2) I have an excuse to bring up my favorite explanation of how Jesus was a teetotaler: the unfermented wine theory.

What a fantastic link! I assume that the unfermented wine theory is nevertheless consistent with the idea that Jesus might still, on another, perhaps undocumented occasion, have taken a nip of grappa, which does not require the addition of water for fermentation.
