If you pause on 7 seconds, you will notice that his goblet is of a clear liquid. Only when he moves it in front of the yellow chair that it appears yellow. So in all likelihood it could be water. All kinds of cases can be made about the Saudi family’s private and political behavior. But that should not be a reason to accuse him of drinking if there is not solid proof.

Holy Quran (5:8) “let not the hatred of others to you make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just: that is next to piety.”

salaam
i agree with the picture not being published enough to recognise whether its wine or just a grape juice…but if it is wine then we cant have such individuals running islamic countries as they are at authority to set good examples to society to individualise the ummah and islam…and for the attacks on palestine im totally against them.how can one take anothers life just like that they dont have a right killing all those innocent poeple…according to islam all muslims should stick besides one another and inshallah will defeat them with bad intentions etc.so why arent all the muslim ummah signing petitions and going to the aid of the people of palestine and mny other islamic countries..they are the lands of our beloved prophets salalahu alayhe wasalams so why arent we helping to protect what is rightfully belongings of islam.we cant let kafirs become rulers of these lands…help everyone in need and pray for them if you cant go further thats more than enough for them..live a good life and live by the sunnah…they kafir did bad with our beloved prophets so dont let them take advantage of his ummah today.if he was here today he wouldnt let his ummah down he’d support them in everyway he can.he wouldnt hurt or let anyone hurt them..think about it and take action today..tc salaam

he drinks and they all drink. they are a bunch of hypocrites. why his daughters walk without head covered but in saudi arabia he gives women death penalty for driving or not covering face?

he just come to my town last week and his sons drink wine and he also does it in Chester’s over here…. Jalal talabani of iraq also comes here and does the same thing….

The Saudi King is a clear example for the failure of islam as a religion, he needs to bow his head 2 more centimeters and it will hit the ground

[...] Does King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia drink wine? [...]

Wine glasses are abundant in Saudi Arabia; wine, not so much.

Grape juice, ‘Saudi champagne’, and other drinks are served in wine glasses simple because they’re more ‘elegant’. There is no way to tell from a photograph what is in any given glass. I think it’s grape juice. Anyone care to prove me wrong?
