While Jesus was on the cross, he stated that he was thirsty. There was a jar of wine vinegar there so one of the guards soaked some on a sponge and gave it to Jesus to drink. There may not have been anything else to drink there or, since the Roman guards were very cruel, they just wanted Jesus to suffer more. What the significance of the wine vinegar is I don't know.

All four of the Gospels mention this act.

Matthew 27:48

Mark 15:36

Luke 23:36

John 19:29

Since the passage in John says that there was a jar of wine vinegar there, I assume that it was used for those on the cross as depicted.
