Isn't it amazing how some people just grab onto an idea and no matter what proof you give them they just can not and will not let go of it? Reminds me of some Biden supporters? Ok, that was a cheap shot 
Also, a message goes over the speakers for lock down. The drones are released. Some Teachers are armed too. He did not like armed Teachers but like the other ideas.

So, is there a different "level of fermentation" for the following, and what exactly
is "strong drink" (different from wine?) referring to?:
fermented wine being the "mocker"?
Also, if I had never "taken that [being deceived?] first drink," I would
not have fallen into the disease(?) of alcoholism, eh?
Amen.
is "strong drink" (different from wine?) referring to?:
"Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever
is deceived thereby is not wise. " (Proverbs 20:1)
Seems like a very strong case of "new" wine being non-fermented and thefermented wine being the "mocker"?
Also, if I had never "taken that [being deceived?] first drink," I would
not have fallen into the disease(?) of alcoholism, eh?
Amen.

Just for your information...
I used to work for a Christian German chef who's brother ran a winery.
He told me that grapes can even begin fermenting while yet on the vine.
In warmer climates it would be very common for the grapes to be in its beginning stage of fermentation as the grapes are being crushed.
Medically, alcoholic red wine, when drank in moderation has been shown to have health benefits for the heart.
On the night of the Passover Seder? As a teen age boy I was expected to drink several glasses of (rabbi certified) red wine
as a part of the ritual.
To the ancient Jews red wine was seen as innocuous as a glass of Coca Cola is today.
One of the big obstacles I had with my Jewish father was his disdain for the legalism of Baptists in regards to alcoholic beverages. Thankfully, my pastor was no a legalist, and my father would enjoy listening to his recorded messages being taught from the Hebrew and Greek texts.
The Bible CONDEMNS getting drunk. Not simply enjoying a drink. That is where legalism become cruel, harsh, and dark.
hope that helps.... grace and peace.

I'm assuming that Passover was celebrated in the Spring of the year in Jesus' time, like it is now?
In that case, the wine that Jesus drank at the Last Supper could not have been too awfully "new", because grapes are harvested in late Summer.
By my estimation, the "fruit of the vine" served at Passover would have had to be at least 6 months old, bare minimum. I don't see 1st Century grape juice making it that long unless it was fermented.
