If Jesus can turn water into wine, but wine is still mostly made of water, can Jesus apply his powers recursively and create more and more concentrated wine? (lemmy.ml)

Making water into wine was not something all that special, it used to basically be like a concentrate that you would then add to water to consume. Shoutout to the history of Rome podcast. So he could make more and more deluted wine with more water but it wouldn't become more concentrated.

this sounds sketchy - distillation wasn't invented until well after the Roman era. how?

I guess not explicitly a concentrate but I was trying to allude the fact it was used in a similar way.
