Drinking wine is no sin——its the abuse of wine or becoming a drunk alcoholic. Food is not sin but grossly overeating becoming a ‘glutton’ is. I’m glad my Lord doesn’t condemn me for drinking a little wine but if one gets a conviction then dont drink. Legalism is rot.

How sad, that some believe they must earn their way into God’s acceptance, that they are even capable of behavior so perfect, compounded in the very act of believing such nonsense, failing to acknowledge that the least of sins condemns them as much as does the greatest.
The worst of their failings, sadly, is their implicit rejection of the unspeakable gift of redemption and forgiveness available to them through faith in Jesus, the Christ and His sacrificial work of redemption.
Of course, if one never drinks alcohol, one will never backslide into the behaviors it seems to cause when too freely imbibed...
