wine is not just made from grapes, you can have rice wine, cider, gin, vodka, whiskey as fermented alcohoic drinks.
There is also beer. The Bible doesnt mention beer is wine, but it does refer to 'strong drink' possibly meaning alcoholic drinks. Confusing the issue is liquors and drinks known as spirits.
Because spirits DO affect people.
Fruit juice does not always need to be refrigerated, if kept in a properly sealed container, in a cool dark place it can keep.
People can be silly when it comes to alcohol, which is why there are restrictions, and signs saying dont serve alchol to minors, and why you cant drive under the influence or when you are intoxicated. People say drink 'responsibly' or know when to say when, but unfortunately for some the pressure to drink is strong. Some parents feed alcohol to their children to shut them up (gripe water for babies!) and then its no surprising been exposed to a taste of it, they become raging alcoholics and dependent on it later.
Does Jesus like it when you are drunk, ask yourself.
