New Wine In Old Wine Skins

I love the fall. I wish I lived somewhere on the East Coast, like New Hampshire where the crisp fall weather brings the beautiful colored leaves to all the surrounding hills and mountains. unfortunately, I live in Southern California where maple trees give way to palm trees and crisp, chilly air yields to hot, dry Santa Ana winds. It's during these days in September and October that the grape harvest is right around the corner. Have you ever heard the saying "Nobody puts new wine into old wine skins"? So what is all the fuss about putting new wine into old wine skins? Well, first of all these words were spoken  by Jesus and written during the first century. Glass bottles were kinda hard to come by so the people of the time would use animal skins to hold liquids. Fresh, new skins had "stretch" built into them allowing the new wine to exspand as secondary fermentation continued.
