The word rapture isn’t in the Bible either but the doctrine is there. The TEACHING is there that fermentation is a picture of sin. Jesus did not drink wine. He only ate unleavened bread. Fermentation is a picture of sin because it’s a breaking down process causing cells to change, just like your body breaks down because you are a sinner and you eventually die (”The wages of sin is death”). When people are dying they often give out a smell of alcohol — their bodies are breaking down.

I think you’d better rethink your theory of “the words aren’t there, but the teaching is.” Otherwise, you won’t be able to argue with me when I say things like “Peter was the first Vicar of Christ,” “the wine and bread become the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Christ at Holy Communion,” “Baptism is the washing away of our sins, making us new,” “souls might need to go to Purgatory when they die,” “Jesus does not want us to be divided (many denominations),” etc. - even though everything I’ve mentioned can be found in Holy Scripture! See Matthew 16:17-19; John 6; 1 Corinthians 10:16; 1 Corinthians 11:27-29; 1 Peter 3:21; 1 Corinthians 3:13-15; John 17.

If you believe that Holy Scripture is the Inspired Word of God, that it is inerrant, and that it is non-self-contradicting, how do you rationalize the following verses from Holy Scripture? “He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart.” Psalm 104:14-15 If you say that the word for wine here means grape juice, then all the verses you just quoted give us admonitions not to get drunk on grape juice. I don’t think that can happen. Either it’s fermented or not - you can’t have it both ways. The wine that Jesus used at the Last Supper is the same type of wine that is mentioned in this Psalm: given to us by God as a wonderful gift to be enjoyed but not over-indulged in. Reference: gluttony (one of the seven deadly sins).
