My solace my terror, my terror my solace.
Sorry, but this is simply untrue.
Sufficient technology to keep unfermented juice as juice did not exist, would not exist until centuries later.
And no incentive to do so.
Of course some with an agenda have taken some historical texts and distorted them to make it appear that otherwise, but that's not historically sustainable.
Fermentation is far the best and easiest way of preserving grape juice.
Not to mention that back then, beer was insanely helpful, as clean water was rare and had to be prepared (by boiling). Fermented drink, in low concentrations of alcohol, was far safer to carry around as it had little effect on cognitive abilities, but provide a much safer source of hydration than water which had far more bacteria growing in it.
