No, you back up your statement that Jesus drank wine.

Luke 7 33-34 NAB

For John the Baptist came neither eating food nor drinking wine and you said "He is possessed by a demon". The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you said "Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners."

We can't conclude that Jesus ate olives, either, since, AFAIK, that is not mentioned in the Bible.

However, Jesus lived in a time and place where wine, fish and olives were staple foods. Is it possible he never partook of these foodstuffs? Sure. But it would be highly incongruous, like Jesus not wearing sandals.
