| Oct 22, 2015 at 19:46 | comment | added | DanF | @DoubleAA Your opinion - Rash"i defines טיליא - יין רע . OK, we know that Rash"i made wine, so, perhaps, he had some expertise, here. Is there any assumption we should make that the term יין implies that this is made from grapes? | |

| Oct 22, 2015 at 19:35 | comment | added | DanF | @Ypnypn I have 2 Q's prior to my researching further: 1 - From what I found, "tillia" is a type of "lime" tree somewhat common in Australia. When the term "wine" is used here, does that mean it is only from grapes? E.g. - saki is a "wine" made from rice. 2 - Assuming "tilia" used in the Gemarah is a type of grape. It refers specifically to white tilia. How do you infer this means that white wines not from tilia were prohibited? If you don't even know what "tilia" is, why do you say, "Any white wine we have might conceivably be tilia"? Perhaps, the gemarah's "tillia" isn't around, now. | |
| Oct 22, 2015 at 17:47 | comment | added | Ypnypn | @DoubleAA Any white wine we have might conceivably be tilia, so we should be concerned about it. However, there's a lot of wine is definitely not white. | |

Stuff that makes the question make sense should go in the question post itself, not in comments.

A concordance is a word reference book, generally of biblical references/words.
