The word *Meditrinalia* comes from the latin word meaning "to be healed". In ancient times, this was the day to taste both new and old wine for the purposes of being healed. Basically, a wine-tasting party justified as being *medicinal*. Romans would repeat a phrases such as, "Wine new and old, I drink. Of illness new and old I am cured." The toast made on this day was to either Jupiter or Bacchus.
