Summary/Abstract: The beginning coincides with the end, life – with death, and the moment of creation collides with the apocalypse; all those phenomena blur their boundaries and cease to exist as distant poles. The presented text focuses on the role and contexts of wine – in particular the Italian Lacryma Christi (“Tears of Christ”) and Sangue Di Giuda (“Blood of Judas”) – that constitute the unobvious element of this process. By balancing between Old Testament and New Testament traditions as well as oscillating between Jewish and Christian heritage the author casts light on the consequences of intoxication, light-headedness, and indistinguishability.
