There is no Bibical evidence that Jesus drank wine,

sorry, can't agree with that ... obviously He would not promote drunkeness ... regarding beer, well there's no Biblical evidence that He drank beer ...

Matthew 11:19

The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children. (Whole Chapter: Matthew 11 In context: Matthew 11:18-20)

Luke 7:34

The Son of Man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! (Whole Chapter: Luke 7 In context: Luke 7:33-35)


It's pretty clear here that He was drinking wine or He would have rebuked them for false accusation ... also, one of the accounts at the Last Supper says He will drink NO MORE of the fruit of the vine until He drinks it with the Disciples in His Father's Kingdom ... FWIW ...

I should clarify that He was not guilty of being "a man gluttonous, and a winebibber" ... i.e., He did NOT eat nor drink to excess ... not that it shouldn't be obvious anyway ...

Did He rebuke them for calling Him a glutton?

Excellent post

May I add from Psalm 104 which speaks of God's attributes, in verse 15:
(He made)...wine which makes man's heart glad

No matter how much Welch's grape juice I drink I may get light headed but not merry. On the other hand, at Passover Seders serving Kedem, Eichenbaum's or Mogen David products I must admit to smiling a bit more.
