Making water into wine was not something all that special, it used to basically be like a concentrate that you would then add to water to consume. Shoutout to the history of Rome podcast. So he could make more and more deluted wine with more water but it wouldn't become more concentrated.
Which podcast is that? You piqued my interest, but there seem to be a lot of podcasts about the history of Rome.

I guess not explicitly a concentrate but I was trying to allude the fact it was used in a similar way.
I wonder what the azeotrope for magically created alcohol is.
