Maybe there should be some mention regarding how grape juice is a natural laxative? I didn't even realize it until I noticed a trend whenever I drank it.69.91.81.247 02:56, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

I think it's a food intolerance; I have that reaction myself to too much grape juice; particlarly the carborated kinds (like Welchs), but other family members seem unaffected. Since just about every food or drink known to man has someone intolerant of it it's probably not something to list in the food & drink articles; it's not an allergy so it doesn't belong in that article. And currently the food intolerance article lists no examples of common food intolerances. Jon 22:12, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Why is it that the article is so much about welchs grape juice and not just grape juice? wlchs doesn't taste like normal grape juice in britain and france, and theres lots of other grape juice. Squeezbert 16:07, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

For that matter, grape juice in America that isn't Welchs tastes different than Welches. Jon 22:12, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

The picture on the page is not very good. At first glance, it looked like a pizza to me. Does anyone have anything better? ZPS102 02:04, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ancient pasteurization?

This is a completely dubious inclusion in an otherwise helpful entry. I have spent a considerable amount of time researching the origins of wine and the beverages that were available during the 1st century. Prior to 1862, the process of pasteurization was unknown. If such a process was common knowledge prior to 1862, one would not think that the process invented by Louis Pasteur (and which bears his name) would have been all that novel. Hence, Thomas Bramwell Welch's application of pasteurization to the juice of grapes was a new concept, which produced the first grape juice. Before pastuerization, there was no way to stop the fermentation process. Any grape juice in the ancient world eventually turned into wine. And the sweeter the juice, the higher the alcohol content of the wine (any of you wine experts correct me if I am wrong in this area). There was no such thing as ancient grape juice. If anyone can produce a valid academic source stating that grape juice existed prior to AD 1869, please list it and I may concede the point. Until then, I will consider this statement to completely dubious, bordering on complete intellectual dishonesty. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theologix (talk • contribs) 02:49, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
