Grain, wine, and oil. It is this trio that, throughout the Bible, represents the divine response, through the heavens, to the earth, and, through the earth, to human needs. God speaks to people through the seasonal rain from the heavens vital for these three crops: "If you obey the commandments that I enjoin upon you this day, loving the Lord your God and serving Him with all your heart and soul, I will grant the rain for your land in season, the early rain and the late, and you shall gather in your grain and your wine and your oil" (Deuteronomy 11:13 - 14)
