Ok, thanks. But I searched the net and many reputable websites use the phrase, including those of vineyards. Journals on viticulture also write about winegrowing.

Perhaps because of the homophones (whine, groan) for words used?

Although the book refers to Amarone. Changed to make sense to moviegoers like me who never heard of that variety.

Lmao! You are hilarious! There was this priest who used to drink A LOT of the wine in the chalice each Sunday. I never felt the Divin e in a building. It was too late at six I had already bonded with the Divine in Nature like the Native Americans. I feel the Creator hugging a cypress or an oak or swimming in the Mediterranean.

Didn't the Romans use boiled down grape juice to sweeten their wine? The container used to boil the grape juice was made of lead but they weren't sweetening the wine with lead specifically, rather a syrup that had been contaminated by the vessel used to make it.

I typed that first but it's Roman.the winos love Dionysus. All the magazines devoted to viticulture seem to know Dionysus but never mention Bacchus. Weird.
