In Zoroastrianism wine was a symbol for liquid gold as well as the moving fire of the radiant sun.
Therefore, wine held a ritual function in Zoroastrianism, being part of a liberation ritual, in which it substituted for blood.

تراشیدم و تراشیدم.خطوطی مبهم بر روی صفحه نقش‌ می‌گرفت که دست کشیدن روی آن حس عجیبی به آدم می‌دهد. حس سر خوردن و جاری شدن جوری که باید نوک انگشتانت آن را دنبال کند.
می‌خواستم جاری شدن را درونش ببینم
و چکیدن آنچه در آن جاریست
نام آن سیال مهم نیست ،
تنها باید جاری و روان باشد
تماشا کنم چگونه از آن می‌چکد‌‌ و چه از خود برجای ‌می‌گذارد.
I Scratched.
Vague lines were drawn on the screen,
which makes it feel strange to touch it.
The feeling of following the flow,
the way your fingertips can follow.
I wanted to see the flow inside.
And I wanted to see how it drips and what it leaves behind.
