There is historical evidence that wine was often drunk mixed with water. Some argue that the Jews drank diluted wine because their water supply was polluted (and since clean water is readily available today, they argue, we have no good reason to drink wine). However, that was certainly not the only reason for The Bible also says that God's people drank wine to make their heart glad and merry. The following scriptures teach that wine is a blessing, a gift of God for our enjoyment. * Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart (Ecclesiastes 9:7). * He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and vegetation for the service of man, that he may bring forth food from the earth. And wine that makes glad the heart of man, oil to make his face shine, and bread which strengthens man's heart (Psalm 104:14, 15). * And you shall spend that money for whatever your heart desires: for oxen or sheep, for wine or similar drink, for whatever your heart desires; you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household (Deuteronomy 14:26). * I will bring back the captives of My people Israel; they shall build the waste cities and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them; they shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them" (Amos 9:14). * Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price (Isaiah 55:1). * How fair is your love, my sister, my spouse! How much better than wine is your love, and the scent of your perfumes (Song of Solomon 4:10).

∙ 8y agoThe wine doesn't symbolize anything. "Symbolize" means to represent something else; and that is not the purpose of the wine. Rather, the wine itself is a vehicle to increased enthusiasm and camaraderie. When used in moderation, and specifically at Torah-related occasions, the wine adds to the atmosphere and may engender exhilaration. However, that is not semantically the same as "symbolism."See also:

What is Hebrew culture?
"Hebrew isn't a culture-it's a language." Proposed correction: There has been an ancient Israelite culture as well as a Jewish (and a Samaritan) culture derived from it. From Jewish culture derived, in the west, the Ashkenazi (European or German Jewish) culture, the Sephardi culture in Muslim Spain and Morocco, the Mizrachi culture in the east (most notably Iraq), and the Temani Jewish culture in Yemen. Hebrew culture is often used as a term to describe the new culture derived from Ashkenazi culture and secularism which developed in Israel in the late 19th and early 20th century. Tel Aviv was the first Hebrew city. Sephardim, Mizrachim, and Temanim who immigrated into Israel often adopted the Hebrew culture. Speaking the Hebrew language is an integral part of Hebrew culture. Before Hebrew was spoken only in religious or legal environments. The mother tongue was Yiddish in the west, Spanish and Arabic in Spain and Morocco and Aramaic in the east. Hebrew culture is now a subset of Israeli culture. Israeli culture consists of a mixture of Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Mizrachi, Temani (most obviously Israeli music), Bedouin, Christian Arab (to some extend), Druze and Hebrew culture. Examples of Hebrew culture in action are the city of Tel Aviv, modern Israeli music, most Israeli movies, and Israeli secularism (including acceptance of homosexuality etc.). I hope this answers the question.
