“Turning water into wine” was a very funny phrase during Roman times indicating urinating after drinking. It is believed by some biblical scholars ,it was inserted into the bible as a joke. True fact.

Yeahhhhhh, I'm thinking you got that backwards: "turning WINE into WATER" is probably the joke, as water into wine (urination after drinking) doesn't make sense.

Compare the infamous Archie Bunker one-liner: "You don't buy beer, you RENT it!"

And water into wine is recorded in the Bible because it was a miracle to prove that Jesus was who he said.

That’s probably where the term “pinot noir” originated. ;^)
