I should have also included that the word used in that passage "they might have drunk freely" the Greek word used is μεθυσθῶσιν (methysthōsin) and is used 6 times in the New Testament. It means " I am intoxicated with wine or am drunk". In all of the other 5 times it is used it is used to refer to someone who is drunk. I would think that should settle the issue of what they were serving.

Seems like only a certain group was worried about Jesus enjoying a mug of wine:
Matthew 11:18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon. 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!
Why would Jesus be a drunkard is all he was drinking was grape juice?
That certain grip is still among us it seems!
