Wine is connected to Wisdom and the study of Truth, as in "...drink the Truth and become drunk on it, dear friends." With its multiple preparation processes, bread indicates the hard work required for Understanding.
When the Prince of Wine and the Prince of Bread told their dreams to Yosef, he used the rule that "dreams are fulfilled according to their interpretation" as in "...just as he told us, so it was..." Yosef returned Wisdom to its proper place in the Supernal Man since Wisdom never harms. However, Understanding required additional improvement. Thus, the words "...and the Prince of Bread was hanged," or better translated as "uplifted," hint at the further improvement needed by Understanding because of its strict judgment.
