E321 – ABRTA Series: What about “juice” in Song of Solomon?

(A Biblical Response To Alcohol Series)

While “juice” was an uncommon word during the time of the translation of the King James Bible, there is one time where the word “juice” is found in our Bible – Song of Solomon 8:2. If “wine” was so often used because of its commonality in that time period, why translate the word “juice” here? Doesn’t this imply that the other passages translated “wine” are actually references to alcohol?
