That seems pretty unanimous. So wine is to drink pretty much what bread is to food - at least for Jesus and his immediate circle - and it seems reasonable to assume that (as well as the specific requirements of the Passover supper) he had that in mind when telling his disciples to remember him when eating/drinking them. But I'd really like to know how that choice has played on people's religious sensibilities in cultures where wine was a rarer, more elite or more expensive drink. The intersection of climate and theology (as in the other post) is quite intriguing to me.
