In the miracle of the wine, the wine actually became wine in both appearance and substance. That is how we know it was a miracle. Jesus did not serve up a batch of water and tell everyone it was wine, he took the water and made it into wine and the people saw wine and the tasted wine. In the eucharist you have to take the word of the Priest or the Church that the wine is really blood. It is by all appearances wine. So no "miracle" has occurred. But it isn't wine and God is not lying to your senses. You taste wine because it is wine in both substance and appearance. If a miracle like Cana occurred then you would taste blood. You don't because it isn't.
The miracle is even greater when you consider that the water
that was turned into wine was mixed with ashes of the Red Heifer
in order to create the Water of Purification.

I consider the turning of water into wine to be one of the most significant miracles of his ministry on many levels.
Thanks.
