Jeremiah 48:32

O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach even to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.
30

I know his wrath, saith the Lord; but it shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it.

31

Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kir–heres.

32

O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach even to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.

33

And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; their shouting shall be no shouting.

34

From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, and even unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto Horonaim, as an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate.

Counter-Arguments

Symbolic / Non-Fermented Wine

The verse explicitly mentions "vintage," which refers to the harvest of grapes for winemaking, and "summer fruits," which are also agricultural products. While "wine" itself isn't directly mentioned, the context strongly points to the *production* of wine, not necessarily its consumption or a symbolic representation of grape juice. The weeping is for the destruction of the agricultural bounty, which would include the grapes used for wine. The "vine of Sibmah" is a literal vine, not a symbolic on
