Romans 14:14
I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
Romans 14:15
But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
Give freedom one to another, trusting God
Romans 14:4
Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
Whether alcohol in it or not, to me matters not any longer
Ephesians 5:18
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
I am now drunk on the new wine, the Holy Spirit of God leads and I am free to love in the same mercy and truth given me to all, thank you

It's obvious that what JESUS MADE for the wedding in Cana wasn't "Grape juice" according to the words of the governor of the party.
There's no reason to assume that ANY "WINE" mentioned Biblically was non-alcoholic.
Trivia: Welshes grape juice was originally formulated as a "Communion element" for teetotaling denominations, and the standard communion tray has two levels which enable the separation of grape juice from the REAL stuff - depending on the denomination's paradigm about alcohol, AND so that recovering alcoholics can avoid exposure to it. In the United church of Christ, the center section is juice, and the outer section is Wine.
Consumption of alcohol IS NOT forbidden biblically, but there are specific situations listed where alcoholic beverages are forbidden.
"New Wine" is alcoholic, and still has active yeast which can make some folks sick.
Hard liquor is also recommended for people in mourning.
Personally I enjoy Sweet wines (Gewurztraminer for example) but my heart medicines indicate against much consumption.
