Shame all his enemies are demon type who are immune to blood attacks, of course he can perform the cleansing ritual that has advantage against demon types casting possess so he isn't completely useless it's still a waste of a spell slot.

So if wine is between 80-90% water anyway, doesn't seem that impressive.
Better quality version:

People have said the fact is derived from experiment done on live human subjects by the WW2 Japanese torture unit, Unit 731.
I can also give you an army of Aquaman, how cool is that?
(don't hurt me if I made an unholy crossover, I have no idea which heroes belong to which universe)
woah Jesus is a water bender??
Can Jesus turn the water in wine into wine?
Jesus invented brandy.
Wait, is that what brandy is?
Sort of. You distil the wine, ethanol comes out first in a higher concentration than water, you also get some bits of the wine flavour, but some is left behind as well. Over time the ABV of the liquid coming out of the still drops as the ethanol is mostly boiled off. Mostly. There would probably still be traces of it left down to the last few drops if you were to evaporate all of it.
Fun fact though when chefs add wine and say "it just boils off", this is mostly a lie. Depending on how you are cooking it some amount will remain. A long stew probably removes most but something quick would still contain a lot of the alcohol. But it's a very small amount in total.
This seems like a XKCD / Randall Munroe "What if" kind of question. I.e., how long would a person survive if all of the water inside them was turned into wine?
A quick search suggests that blood is 80% water. Turning that into wine at a weak concentration of 5.5% results in around at 14.5% BAC which is over 10 times greater than the highest ever recorded, so it would be certainly lethal.
Wine is 80-90% water, but all that alcohol and other flavor compounds directly in your bloodstream would not be good.
Yeah, but how long before I croak?!?!? I need to know now!
Pretty much immediately. You wouldn't even know it.
Acidic pH like wine denatures proteins. It would destroy you on the cellular level, basic cell functions would cease to work. You could say it would stop your breathing or cause an instant heart attack, but it would be more like as if it fried your brain and heart like an egg in an instant.
I have a different question. How much wine extract can i add to the water in my body to be able to correctly state i exist out of 80% wine and still live.
That's much easier. If you weigh 100kg (220lb) it's W/(100 + W) = 0.8, and solving for W gives 400.
If you eat 400 kg of wine powder then 80% of your mass will be wine.
This will kill you, and it doesn't actually matter what powder you choose to eat.
You are saying that you would have to eat four times your body weight of wine powder to turn your blood into wine. That doesn’t make sense.
What if all the water turned to wine at 1 standard drink per hour
Wine is 15% alcohol.
Human are 60% water.
Human weight around 70kg
70 x 0.6 = 42 L
42 x 0.15 = 6.3 L of pure alcohol.
You'd probably die before ingesting that amount tho
Probably 0.00 seconds.
That's what I'm talking about. OK then.
To be specific, it'd likely immediately fuck up the electrical signals in the brain, thus killing the brain.
That's an understatement, it would also add a bunch of alcohol and all kinds of sugars and proteins inside every single cell. I bet that would instantly mess up every single biological process.
I bet it would take a long time for that body to rot.
You should see the guy his brother killed, turned the water into brandy.
Fucking weak as humans now. In my day we were 75% water and probably like 5-15 % lead. /S
Replace the lead with microplastics
Miss when superheroes had vague wording in their powers, leap great distances could scale up and down , mean anything
So you're nostalgic for the Golden age? How old are you?
thats just most of what they had in the library growing up, 25 lol
Never been impressed by the "water to wine" miracle.
My S/O can turn anything into whine.
Did you have to help a chicken cross the road making that joke?
