Too many Christians have been taught that Jesus did not actually make the water into wine but grape juice...absurd. And they refuse to use any wine for communion. There is no dancing, even though David danced before the throne of God, and there is no drinking -0-, even though Jesus turned the water into wine for the Wedding.

In fact, twenty or more years ago there was a Christian convention in Europe where Christians drank beer, and the Americans left in a huff...unbelievable. IN areas of Europe the beer was better to drink than the water, so it was a staple at meals, just like wine. Unbending religious attitudes are problematic, if they are not teachable.

That was a discussion at our family Thanksgiving Dinner last year. How drinking wine was not a sin. The bible talks about everything in MODERATION. Also how in Europe even children start drinking wine but in a very small glass but you don’t see the whole population getting drunk. Wine has it health benefits. Christians from different cultures view alcohol differently.

Yes, like killing Infidels for the glory of Allah.
