  1. 6/10. I don`t understand your alternative answers to question 5. Surely “this is correct” and “it was a custom” are saying exactly the same thing?

  2. 8 out of 10, Agate. Regarding “There is a strong indication that the wine mentioned in Bible, was not even fermented” your ‘correct answer’ seems totally at odds with the facts. Drunkenness is mentioned more than 70 times in the Bible!
