What does the Bible say about the use of wine?

The Scriptures do not prohibit God's children from drinking wine; however, they strongly warn against misuse and overindulgence. As stated in Philippians 4:5, believers are called to let their moderation be known to all. The Bible stresses the importance of doing all things, including eating and drinking, for the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31). While there are warnings against drunkenness, the predominant theme associated with wine in Scripture is that it represents the blessings bestowed upon the people of God, such as joy and fellowship at the Lord's Table.
