Noah's wine is the wine made by Noah

[edit]

None of the references say that "Noah's wine" is an idiom or a "term". They all talk about the wine that Noah made. 69.86.6.150 (talk) 17:37, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, the reference you added is already in the article, "Bayley, Frederick William N. (1833). The National Standard of Literature, Science, Music, Theatricals, and the Fine Arts Volume 1-3 Issue 57. The Patrearch's Penchant: Thomas Hurst. p. 28. ISBN 978-1130586275." (currently citation number 5), it is more or less an advertisement for a wine by that name that existed at the time of the publication (1800's). The lead sentence is very similar to the first sentence of the first section, which is sourced (i.e. "Wilson, Hanneke (2003). Wine and Words in Classical Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Bristol Classical Press. p. 19. ISBN 978-0715632239."). I'll go ahead and the source of the reference behind the information to the lead as well. Secondly, the purpose of "The term has been used in both fictional and nonfictional literature" is to summarize the contents of the body per WP:LEAD. As far as "term" goes: I'll change it to phrase on one of the occurrences in the lead, and the removal from the first paragraph of the "Definition and origin" section is fine.Godsy(TALKCONT) 21:10, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
