Nevertheless, the Ben Franklin “beer is proof” myth continues, including on the walls of breweries and bars staffed by people with whom I admire greatly. We speak of the conversion of water into wine, at the wedding of Cana, as a miracle. But this conversion is done daily by the goodness of God before our eyes. This is the water that falls from the heavens on our vineyards; there it enters the roots of the vines to be changed into wine; constant proof that God loves us, and that he loves to see us happy.
