How is Jesus` teaching like fresh wine requiring fresh wineskins?

What Jesus was saying is that his disciples didn`t need to fast because they was with him in spirit. They didnt have reason to fast. You usually fast when you have troubling issues spiritually.. His disciples didnt need to do this becuase he was with them.

Because he wants you to treat the gift he has given with care and take care of it like they do the wine by putting it in fresh wineskins.

Jesus teaching is not supporting the way the old Laws of the Israelites used to be obeyed. He had come with the new laws that are not bias to some individuals.

Jesus Questioned About Fasting

Then John's disciples came to him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don't fast?"
Jesus said to them, "Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast. No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made. Neither do people put new wine into old wineskins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine be spilled, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved."

Matthew 9:14-17
