They wanted wine [υ σ τ ε ρ η σ α ν τ ο ς ο ι ν ο υ]. Literally, when the wine failed. So Rev., Wyc., and wine failing. Some early authorities read : "they had no wine, for the wine of the marriage was consumed." Marriage festivals sometimes lasted a whole week (Genesis 29:27; Jude 1:14 :15; Tobit 9 12; 10 1).

They have no wine. Implying a request for help, not necessarily the expectation of a miracle.
