Who told you either of those non-facts? Drinking of wine was part of the Jewish religion because the fruit of the grape could not be kept long with out fermenting. Period. There is evidence he was an Essene.
I have studied the Shroud of Turin for over 40 years. Your claim that the Shroud of Turin image has it's hands on its knees is ludicrous. The image's hands are crossed over the groin are, a long distance away from the knees. Under computer enhancement, it is possible to discern the Man on the Shroud was circumsized (per Barrie Schwortz, the principal photographer of the Shroud or Turin Research Project (STURP), and nowhere near his knees. The legs were somewhat bent from being on the Cross, and being in Rigor Mortis. The mage was NOT in a sitting position. SHEESH! If you think the Shroud image is of a man with his hands on his knees because he's's a seated position, you literally do not know what you are talking about!
