SWEET NEW WINE — the barely-fermented juice of a fresh pressing, still sugary; the root behind English 'glucose'. ⚠ It is the sneer at Acts 2:13, 'they are filled with gleukos', and it has a calendar problem the text does not point out: Pentecost falls in late spring, months before the vintage. The mockers reach for the least plausible explanation available, and Peter answers the drunkenness rather than the date — it is nine in the morning. The word occurs only here in the New Testament. KJV 'new wine'; NWT 'sweet wine', which is the most exact rendering on the shelf. → first discussed at Acts 2:13
