“Amen. The physical properties taste, smell, color, alcohol - of the wine are still there. Amen.”
Amen, Christ was not eating and drinking His own body and blood, and certainly would not continue to do so in heaven, but really meant it when He declared that the cup of the covenant well and truly remained wine.

His blood doesn’t exist in heaven. It was poured out here on earth 2,000 years ago or so.

I didn't see in Scripture where Jesus received or consumed the consecrated elements at the Last Supper, Himself. It says supper was finished; it says He blessed the bread, broke it, and gave it to his disciples; and that he blessed the cup and gave it to His disciples. It doesn't say anything about Him eating or drinking at this point, when supper was finished.
Presumably He ate ordinary bread and wine when they were at table, but before He instituted the BLessed Sacrament.

"the Lamb that was slain before the foundation of the world." There was no alcohol in any wine Jesus made, drank, or instituted for the Remembrance Supper. Leavened wine forbidden in the Temple.
