This may be a really dumb question, but is there a passage that specifically says that wine is that which is in the cup? All passages I have found seem to tie the cup to the blood of Christ with no mention of what exactly is in the cup. We know that Christ says that He is the living water, why do we assume its wine that is in the communion cup and not water?

Matt 26:29 refers to it as the “fruit of the vine” which would be wine or grape juice (see also Mark 14:25; Luke 22:18).
