yes. new wine was unfermented, obviously that's how it breaks old wineskins (after it ferments and expands) ...

For real? I never understood what Jesus said about the new wine bursting the old wineskins.
Thank you!

yes, of course He was speaking of how they were having a hard time believing the Messiah had arrived, that He had to die for their (and our) sins ... i.e., the Gospel and the fact that Gentiles could be Saved ... I believe they tied up the wineskins and the expanding CO2 on an old, dried-out wineskin would cause it to burst ... as always, He used the parables to explain a complex Truth ...
