For ages the wine has been the symbol of fertility, joy, intoxication, healing and youthfulness.
In the Greek mythology, Dionysus was the god of wine and fertility. In the roman mythology, it was Bacchus.
In Judaism, the first of all the monotheism religions, wine is associated with blessings and sanctification. Through times wine has become an obligation for some Jewish customs (for example, Passover Seder).
The strong reputation of the wine and its associations make it the most appropriate symbol for weddings in Christianity and Judaism.
