I wonder what wines (i.e., grapes) were popular at the time? All the paintings I've seen show reds (and the water-to-wine miracle suggests a red wine), which is a not a bad thing, if they were drinking it with beef or lamb. But is there any historical mention of the kind of wine drunk? I would really be quite dismayed to find that they were having their burgers cooked rare with a glass of sauvignon blanc!
hmm...There seems to be some debate over whether lamb or fish was served at the last supper.

I also wonder what Jesus' favorite wine was. If I could turn water to wine, I'd probably make myself a nice, full-bodied cabernet with a hint of oak. What wine did Jesus choose to make for the wedding party?

I bet it was something nicer than two-buck Chuck from Trader Joe's.
