The bible is strictly against the misuse from alcohol. And for some person groups like an nasiräer ore an priest in duty it was prohibitet to drink alcohol, thats right. But from this you cant make an general prohibition. A coin has always two sides, but you are only emphesise one side. So you will get a wrong picture.
No, the "new wine" is that which comes from the fresh press of grapes from the vine:
The 'old wine' is that which had been stored, boiled down, and later mixed with water. When the New Wine was offered it was potent fresh grape juice. Compare with the "new garment" in parallel.
See what I mean about the 'beer goggles'. You see alcohol everywhere.
Pro_3:10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
Joe_1:10 The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.

You need to go back and re-read that whole discussion about our bodies being the temple of the Spirit... the discussion was about immorality... not drinking, or smoking, or skydiving.... etc....
"every other sin that man commits is outside the body (in other words, is not against the body) but the immoral man sins against his own body' THAT'S how you sin against your body, which is the temple of the Spirit.
Try to keep things in context, and stop seeing everything through your "anti-beer goggles"

If you press grapes to juice. You can store it in in a glasbottle by an temperature from 5-8 Celsius max 72 hours.
Without any doing with the pressed grapejuice it will turn into an alcoholic drink.
Unless you cook it.
You will tell me now that 2000 years ago, the people in Israel had an fridge to cool the juice down?
Our Lord himself made wine out of water.
No alcoholfree juice.
And even today grapejucie has around 0,4 Vol.-%. So I hope you will not drink it.
