Neh 13.15 is not that certain. The press was a "wine-press" because it was
used in the production of wine (after it was also fermented). I hardly think
that it was thereby referring to the intermediate product (grape juice) as
wine. The Jer and Is references are of a similar nature - the reference is
to the ultimate product.
