“. The grapevine decorations have their role in the Christian Eucharist and Communion, but have their origins in motifs associated with Dionysus, the pagan god of wine and ecstasy.”
Sounds like they can’t decide, and chose the least Christian explanation.

With the inscription, “drink to live forever....”, I don’t think they stretched too far.

Christianity before the Mussulman conquests (during the 620-720 AD period) were far different than the Christianity that emerged during the Middle Ages and came to be the current Christian beliefs and practices. The reason they changed? The Mussulman conquests destroyed Christian artifacts and killed as many Christians as they could. Surviving Christians engaged in the the newly imported Mussulman practice of chattel slavery - this was the biggest and most lucrative business at the time.

They also can’t decide if drinking from it will make you live forever or for a many years. Wishy washy.
