Gill's Notes on the Bible

She may not eat of anything that cometh from the vine,.... Grapes moist or dried, kernels, or husks, or anything made of them:

neither let her drink wine, or strong drink; as she was to be careful to abstain from such liquors, so her husband also is enjoined not to suffer her to drink any:

nor eat any unclean thing; which was so by the law of Moses, and particularly by the law of the Nazarites:

all that I commanded her, let her observe; both with respect to herself and the child.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Compare Numbers 6:4. In both passages the vine is described by the somewhat unusual though more accurate term, “vine of the wine” - the grape-bearing vine - to distinguish it from the wild cucumber vine 2 Kings 4:39, or other plants to which the name vine was applied.
