Can’t work here if you want to have wine with your dinner at a restaurant.

That’s not what the article says. See post #10.

I can see half a point in the policy. Jesus partook more freely and openly of the fermented blood of the grape (any other kind would not have been practicable except for a few weeks out of the year) than these people would have their staff do. If you’ve got a significant ministry to alcoholic people, this kind of restraint makes sense. No need that an activity not explicitly banned by the faith should be allowed to act as a stumbling block to the weak. But just to be doing it to say you’re specially clean... pfah, bs, baloney. Anyhow, how common is it to recognize someone in a restaurant? I’d feel a policy that you should never be obviously drunk (for an objective measure, too drunk to legally drive, even if you don’t drive or are a passenger) in public, and should avoid distilled liquors in public, would make more sense. And that when ministering to alcoholics, you should stay totally dry.
