Barnes's Proverbs 23:30 Bible Commentary
Mixed wine - Wine flavored with aromatic spices, that increase its stimulating properties Isaiah 5:22. There is a touch of sarcasm in "go to seek." The word, elsewhere used of diligent search after knowledge Proverbs 25:2; Job 11:7; Psalm 139:1, is used here of the investigations of connoisseurs in wine meeting to test its qualities.
Wesley's Proverbs 23:30 Bible Commentary
23:30 Mixt wine - Either mixed with water, or with other ingredients to make it strong and delicious.
