The reason more wine was needed at Cana seems to be that too many of the guests were drunk already (inebriati in Jerome's translation).

The Greek word for "to get drunk" (methuein) is cognate with the English word "mead" but there doesn't seem to be any connection to Methuselah. So Noah couldn't blame his grandfather.

Regardless of why it was needed, his mother Mary asked him to do it and he had to do it even though he did not want to at that time.

He had to honor her request per the Ten Commandments..........
