Jews still say a blessing anytime they're about to drink wine, not specifically at meals. They bless God for having created the wine. A blessing is also said before drinking water, eating bread, and eating other items. This is to help us stay aware of and appreciate what we have.

The red wine at the seder symbolizes God's four statements of redemption in the Torah (Exodus ch.6):

1. "I took you out"

2. "I rescued you"

3. "I redeemed you"

4. "I took you to Me for a people"

The wine represents redemption, while the colour of the red wine reminds us of the blood of the children killed for Pharaoh.

Answer:Because on the night of the passover Moses and his followers ate unleavened bread because they had no leavening to put in it so it didn't rise (Exodus ch.12). They also drank wine so Jews do the same throughout history.

Do the Jews use bread and wine?

No offence is meant, but it seems almost impossible that someone would need to ask this question. Jews are not required by their faith to abstain from alcohol, and virtually every world culture has one or more forms of bread that they enjoy. So yes, Jews use bread and wine.Answer:The question was posed too vaguely; and the asker likely meant to ask "Do the Jews use bread and wine in a religious context."The answer is that we use wine and bread as the basic ingredients in our Sabbath and festival meals (all other foods in such meals are optional). See also Exodus ch.25, Numbers ch.15 and Leviticus ch.23 (for the use of bread and wine in the Temple).

Does everyone drink the kosher wine at Shabbat?

Wine gladdens the heart (Psalms 104). While too much wine is a bane, the right amount has its benefits. It contributes to exuberance, gregariousness and expansiveness. Knowing this, Jewish tradition has included wine (in moderation) in many ceremonies; and the Shabbat meals are one of these occasions.
