What does the red wine symbolise in Passover meal?

The red wine in the Passover Seder does not have a specific symbolic meaning. While the wine itself is central to the Seder, its color (red) doesn't hold any special significance.

Here's what the four cups of wine *do* symbolize:

* The four expressions of redemption:

* First Cup: The first cup of wine is symbolic of freedom from slavery in Egypt.

* Second Cup: This cup commemorates the covenant God made with Abraham, promising a future where his descendants would be free.

* Third Cup: The third cup represents the coming of the Messiah, who will bring about a time of ultimate redemption.

* Fourth Cup: The fourth cup is called the "cup of Elijah," and it represents the hope that Elijah will come to herald the Messiah's arrival.

While some people may associate the red wine with the blood of the Passover lamb, this is not a traditional interpretation. The focus is on the symbolism of the four cups and the story of redemption that they represent.
