Kamala Harris Named ‘Person Of The Year’ By Wine Enthusiast | Babylon Bee

VALHALLA, NY — In what the media hailed as the most prestigious award announcement of the season, Vice President Kamala Harris was named “Person of the Year” by Wine Enthusiast magazine.

The annual honor, given to a person to recognize outstanding achievement in wine consumption, was voted unanimously to be awarded to Harris after the awe-inspiring work she did throughout 2024 to promote and exemplify the enjoyment of wine.

“She blew every other candidate out of the water,” said Jacqueline Strum, the magazine’s editor and publisher. “Each year, we look for the person who the public would think of most synonymously with wine. While there is typically a healthy debate to come up with a winner in other years, 2024 was far and away Kamala Harris’s year. Her campaign speeches, the debate performance… she absolutely dominated.”

Harris was honored to accept the award. “As someone who was born into a middle-class family, this is the greatest achievement of my life,” she said in a video statement. “Wine Enthusiast is for enthusiasts. Enthusiasts are people who are enthusiastic. And enthusiasm is a tremendous thing. Wine is amazing, am I right? Wine is what life is all about. My life, at least. In that sense, wine is life. And life is meant to be lived with enthusiasm. And that is why I love wine. Somebody get me another bottle! HAHAHAHA!”

At publishing time, Harris had reportedly asked the magazine’s staff if it was true that the award came with a lifetime supply of wine.

8 december (preached 28 november 1858) | The feast of the Lord

“The governor of the feast called the bridegroom, And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.” John 2:9–10

suggested further reading: Psalm 73

If the Christian has the best wine to come, why should he envy the unbeliever? David did; he was discontented when he saw the prosperity of the wicked, and you and I are often tempted to do it; but you know what we ought to say when we see the wicked prosper, when we see them happy and full of delights of sinful pleasure. We ought to say, “My good wine is to come; I can bear that you should have your turn; my turn will come afterwards; I can be put off with these things, and lie with Lazarus at the gate, while the dogs lick my sores; my turn is to come, when the angels shall carry me into Abraham’s bosom, and your turn is to come too, when in hell you lift up your eyes, being in torments.” Christian, what more shall I say to you?—though there be a thousand lessons to learn from this, the best wine is kept to the last. Take heed to yourself, that you also keep your good wine until the last. The further you go on the road, seek to bring to your Saviour the more acceptable sacrifice. You had little faith years ago: man! Bring out the good wine now! Seek to have more faith. Your Master is better to you every day and you shall see him to be the best of all Masters and friends. Seek to be better to your Master every day; be more generous to his cause, more active to labour for him, more kind to his people, more diligent in prayer; and take heed that as you grow in years you grow in grace, so that when you come at last to the river Jordan, and the Master shall give you the best wine, you may also give to him the best wine.

for meditation: In which direction is your Christian life going at the moment—forwards (Philippians 3:13), backwards (Galatians 5:7) or nowhere (1 Corinthians 3:1–3)?

October 19 | Sour Grapes

What more could I have been?
(Isaiah 5:3, TLB)

Listen to this parable: “My well-beloved hath a vineyard. He fenced it, gathered out the stones, planted it with the choicest vine, built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a wine press; and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes” (Isaiah 5:2). Next, God asks the question, “What more could I have done?”

You say, “What does it all mean?” The vineyard is a picture of the church. (See John 15:5.) We read, “He fenced it”—divine protection! David said, “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalms 91:1–2). Then He “gathered out the stones.” He’s opened the way! The last stone was removed on Easter morning. Next, He “made a winepress”—that’s a picture of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, “Ye shall receive power after the Holy Ghost is come upon you” (Acts 1:8). Finally we read, “He planted it with the choicest vine.” What a picture of Jesus—your source, your strength, and your Savior.

Now after He did all this, what did He get back? Sour grapes! Have you met them? They’re smart enough to graduate, but foolish enough to say “no” to eternal life. They’re smart enough to split the atom, but foolish enough to reject the Sermon on the Mount. Have you accepted God’s gift of eternal life?

You may die unsaved, but you’ll never die unloved. Today God is asking you, “What more could I do?” Why don’t you give Him your life?¹
