Who was the patron saint of wine?

There isn't a single universally recognized patron saint of wine. However, several saints are associated with wine and winemaking, depending on the region and tradition:

* Saint Vincent: He is the most widely recognized patron saint of winemakers and wine in many countries, including France, Italy, Portugal, and Spain. Legend says he was a Roman deacon who was martyred for his faith during the 3rd century.

* Saint Urban: This saint is particularly venerated in Germany and Austria as the patron saint of wine and vineyards. He is credited with stopping a storm that threatened to destroy a vineyard.

* Saint John the Baptist: He is associated with wine in some regions due to his story in the Bible where he baptized Jesus with water but spoke of a future baptism with fire and the Holy Spirit, symbolized by wine.

* Saint Apollinaris: This saint is the patron saint of wine in Italy, particularly in the region of Emilia-Romagna. He is associated with the grape harvest and winemaking.

So, while there's no singular patron saint of wine, several saints hold this honor in different cultures and regions.
