In Jewish tradition

A Nazirite, who takes a special vow, must stay away from wine, strong drink and anything from the grape.

Interpretation. Tradition reads this ban as a way to keep the Nazirite holy and self-controlled, and to keep him far from anything that might lead to excess.

Examples

he shall abstain from wine and strong drink: he shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried. (Torah NUM.6.3, JPS 1917) tree →
