13. In the Old Testament, the general term for wine
is yayin. This term designates the juice of the
grape in all its stages from unfermented to
fermented, though it is frequently used for fully
aged wine that contains alcohol. The usual
word for unfermented wine is tirosh. It is
frequently translated an "new wine," which is
freshly pressed grape juice. Both terms are
rendered oinos in the Septuagintal Greek
translation of the Old Testament (LXX). Oinos
is the term generally used for wine in the New
Testament and refers to both fermented and
unfermented wine, depending on the context.
