Wine wasconsecratedthe firstbishop of Winchesterin 660 and possibly translated toDorchesteraround 663.[1]In 666, he was translated from Dorchester to London.[2]
Bedetells us that Wine was ordained bishop in the Frankish kingdom[3]and that KingCenwalh of Wessexinstalled him after disagreements with the previous Frankish bishop,Agilbert.[3]Wine too was forced to leave after a few years and took refuge withWulfhere,king of Mercia, who installed him in London,[4]after a payment to Wulfhere.[5]
In 665, while in Wessex, Wine took part with two Welsh or British bishops in the ordination ofChadas bishop of the Northumbrians,[6]an act that was uncanonical because the other two bishops' ordination was not recognised by Rome. This would have resulted in his being disciplined, along with Chad, byTheodore of Tarsus,the new archbishop ofCanterbury,who arrived in 669.[7]Since Bede does not list him among the miscreants at this point, it is possible he had died by this date.
Wine died sometime before 672.[2]
