Back then, they didn't have refrigeration. The clear reading is that Jesus drank wine. There's nothing wrong with drinking wine. Whereas drinking too much wine is a problem. Scripture warns about overdrinking alcohol. That's how I understand it. Some disagree...so what?
Paul actually advised Timothy to drink some wine rather than only water for his health
“Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.”
1 Timothy 5:23
and then he says to the church “don’t be drunk on wine “
“And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;”
Ephesians 5:18 KJV
I think the thing is wine isn’t evil , but drinking wine to get drunk is not appropriate because when your drunk you do things you wouldn’t and say things you wouldn’t it alters the mind . To have a glass or two with dinner doesn’t really affect you
it seems wine was a celebratory drink like at weddings I think biblically wine isn’t evil but anything can be evil if we use it that way a lot of times it’s how we partake of things that makes it wrong and not the thing itself
I’d say the person saying it’s fruit juice probably thinks it’s a sin to drink wine and is reasoning Jesus must not have drank any wine but there is no reason for us to think that.
It’s alright to have a glass of wine it seems not alright to get drunk on wine or anything else
