The Potency of God's Wrath
Commentators explain that the 'wine of the wrath of God' is a powerful Old Testament image for judgment. The phrase 'poured out without mixture' is a striking oxymoron. It means the wrath is not diluted with mercy (it's pure), but it is 'mixed' like strong wine with spices to make it even more potent. This imagery conveys the full, unmitigated severity of God's final judgment.
