The new wine is found in the cluster. This is simply nature as God intends it to be. The crop of grapes is meant to be a Blessing and benefit to the farmer who owns it and harvests it. Wine is not a chemical drink that is invented by man, wine is God's Creation and we need to be good stewards of that Creation.
