FRUITY WORD OF THE DAY

The grape has found itself in the middle of everything from cafe discussions to religious divisions. It may all seem a bit fruity but when men ferment the discussion begins. Don’t be too quick to dismiss all this delicious debate! The Bible is clear about people getting tipsy – don’t do it. But then why did people throughout the Bible drink liquid grapes? Was there a non-alcoholic wine without refrigeration? The grape bloom will answer all of these questions but the bloom also reveals that the proper name of one of Israel’s tribes, Ephraim, meant double fruit and is related to double grapes.
