As a Catholic I was lectured by my teetotalling coworkers (nice guys except on this topic) that alcohol in any form is sinful.
I reminded them that Jesus’ first miracle was to transform water into wine at Cana; Mary His mother had said to Him, “Son, they have no wine.”
They replied that it was really grape juice. I mentioned how the head steward, having tasted the miraculous wine, criticized the bridegroom for saving the best wine when the guests were already buzzed.
No, they said, Christ would never create anything sinful. I mentioned that the modern temperance movement only dates back to the 19th century and that even the early Mormons took wine in their rituals.
Like talking to a brick wall. Two of them.
I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s Kingdom
That was said at the Last Supper Passover meal, at which wine is always served.
