Sweet

  

In Genesis 8:21, this signifies that worship from charity and the faith of charity pleased the Lord. (Arcana Coelestia 924-925)

In Exodus 15:25, this signifies that truths became enjoyable. (Arcana Coelestia 8356)

'Sweet' signifies delightful things from the good of truth and the truth of good. Everything sweet in the natural world corresponds to delightful and pleasant things in the spiritual world.

219. Wine. When the context concerns the Lord, "wine" means divine truth emanating from his divine goodness, as does "blood": 1071, 1798, 6377. Wine in a general sense means good actions that come from caring: 6377. "New wine" means truth in the earthly self that grows out of goodness: 3580. Wine was called "the blood of grapes": 6378. A vineyard means the church in respect to the truth it has: 3220, 9139. The drink offering in sacrificial rituals, which was wine, meant spiritual goodness, which is holy truth: 10137. The Lord alone is holy, so everything that is holy comes from him: 9229, 9680, 10359, 10360. The divine truth that emanates from the Lord is what is called "holy" in the Word: 6788, 8302, 9229, 9820, 10361.
