What would have been a liberal estimate of the possible alcohol ABA or %? How much sugar would have been in it/L?

Even wine for Kings?

    I know there was a more common everyday wine with pretty low alcohol content and not much to any sweetness. Alcohol was a good way to ensure clean drinking water and naturally keeps out a lot of bad bacteria. That’s why drinking wine is way more common in the Bible AFAIK

      also notice that it’s also about things like electrolytes and vitamines

      whether you eat raw fruit or drink fermented fruit juice probably doesn’t change these properties, but additionally you get a light drug which is a positive side effect (to the people) so i guess that’s why they fermented whatever fruits they had

      also it’s durable throughout the winter or sth
