'Wine' in the Bible

So the king assigned them a daily ration from his royal delicacies and from the wine he himself drank. They were to be trained for the next three years. At the end of that time they were to enter the king's service.

But Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself with the royal delicacies or the royal wine. He therefore asked the overseer of the court officials for permission not to defile himself.

So the warden removed the delicacies and the wine from their diet and gave them a diet of vegetables instead.

King Belshazzar prepared a great banquet for a thousand of his nobles, and he was drinking wine in front of them all.

While under the influence of the wine, Belshazzar issued an order to bring in the gold and silver vessels -- the ones that Nebuchadnezzar his father had confiscated from the temple in Jerusalem -- so that the king and his nobles, together with his wives and his concubines, could drink from them.

As they drank wine, they praised the gods of gold and silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone.

Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. You brought before you the vessels from his temple, and you and your nobles, together with your wives and concubines, drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone -- gods that cannot see or hear or comprehend! But you have not glorified the God who has in his control your very breath and all your ways!

I ate no choice food; no meat or wine came to my lips, nor did I anoint myself with oil until the end of those three weeks.
