True you don’t ‘brew’ wine, but you can ‘fortify’ it by adding a distilled alcohol to it.

I've never heard of fortifying a typical 12-13% wine to 15%. Most fortified wines are about 20%.

Jesus turned the water into wine at Cana even though the wedding guests were already drunk (or at least the head steward thought they were: John 2.10).

It sounds like “weak” wine. I don’t understand the fuss in the land of 80 proof whisky.

The UK being what it is, they’ll try banning the monks from brewing it, instead of placing the blame on the kids and their parents.
