Who is your God? God, or the desire of the belly?
Let us begin this study on the "Wines" of the Bible:
There are two 'kinds' of Wine in the Scriptures [and this will be thoroughly shown from Genesis to Revelation]:
one of Blessing
...and the other of Cursing,
one of Life
...and the other of Death,
one of Joy/Happiness/Peace
...and the other of Woe/sorrow/strife,
one of FATHER/CHRIST JESUS/HOLY SPIRIT/GOD
...and the other of Babylon/Belial/Serpent/Devil/Satan/Dragon.
This study is primarily not dealing with the "amount" of each wine, for that is the not the main consideration [though it will also be addressed], but rather the primary search is about the very "nature" itself of these two 'kinds' of wines. Thus once the "nature" of them is revealed from scripture, the "amount" discussion becomes easier, for it is obvious that there can never be any "amount" of "wickedness" sanctioned should one prove to be so.
Let us also ask, at the outset, "Is there a dual use for the word "wine" in common language and is there such a use in the scriptures?" Let us look, and see that the answer is "Yes."
Well, in demonstrating the accuracy in saying "Yes" to the first half of the question:
"Wine – noun
... [3]. the juice, fermented or unfermented, of various other fruits or plants, used as a beverage, sauce, etc. ..." [Wine, definition] - the definition of wine
"Wine - noun
... something that invigorates or intoxicates ..." [Wine, definition] - Definition of WINE
And for additional purposes...
See that word, "intoxicate"? What does the word "intoxicate" mean?
Word Definition:
"Intoxicate - transitive verb
1 poison
2 a : to excite or stupefy by alcohol or a drug especially to the point where physical and mental control is markedly diminished b : to excite or elate to the point of enthusiasm or frenzy" [Intoxicate, definition] - Definition of INTOXICATE
Let us also ask a very basic question pertaining to these, "Can a person who is “intoxicated” [“poisons”] by any amount of such 'kind' of “wine” which is “alcoholic” [an Arabic word, to cover the eyes] bring “glory to God” in their drinking?"
What does the alcohol do to a persons health?
It impairs brain activity, slows down reactionary time, attacks kidneys, liver, bloodstream, causing cancer, disease, dizziness, loose morality, causing one to forget, relaxes and/or reduces self-control [thus giving up of the will], etc and is one of the major leading causes of death, abuse and misery in the world. Even the smallest amount begins to break down the immune system of the human body [multiple medical research reports can be cited for these facts if needed, though it should be plainly obvious [but for a brief, http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/yourlif....s_N.htm ], also ask those of SADD and MADD].
However, let us also consider further history of the word "wine":
Aristotle ["...(384 BC – 322 BC)[1] was a Greek philosopher and polymath, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great." [Wikipedia - Aristotle - Wikipedia ]] said,
Merriam-Websters 1828 Dictionary:
And for many more, consider reading [or checking the references page of] [The Bible Wine Question. The Answer To The 'Unanswerable': Or An Exposure Of The Fallacies Of Three Irish Advocates (Professors Watts, Wallace And Murphy) And Eleven Syrian Witnesses; By Frederick Richard Lees] - The Bible Wine Question
I can also recommend - Bible Wines, Laws of Fermentation; by William Patton - Bible Wines
We should seriously ask ourselves, "Does the alcohol bring life or death?"
Alcohol is merely a legalized [group morality] "intoxicant", another name for 'drug'. For those who advocate that a little or even 'moderate' [who defines that? and for whom?] use is ok, should also perhaps consider the "health benefits" and results of other such "intoxicants"/"drugs": caffeine [ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012....55.html ], nicotine/tobacco [ Nicotine poisoning - Wikipedia ], cannabis [ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health....ar.html ], etc - all destructive.
This should be sufficient in demonstrating the first half of the "Yes.", but now let us consider in greater detail the second half of the "Yes." answer.
"...The English word "wine" comes from the Proto-Germanic *winam, an early borrowing from the Latin vinum, "wine" or "(grape) vine", itself derived from the Proto-Indo-European stem *win-o- (cf. Hittite: wiyana; Lycian: oino; Ancient Greek: οἶνος oinos; Aeolic Greek: ϝοῖνος woinos).[5][6]..." [Wikipedia, Wine], and therefore, simply means anything 'of the vine', without reference to anything of alcoholic or fermentation content, although it may include such in one of its definitions.
"Wines" The Biblical Definitions and Uses
Now let us consider the second half of that "Yes." There is indeed a dual use of the word "Wine" in scripture, and once this is shown, we can begin to look at the two 'kinds'.
So, to be as open as possible, and completely true to the scriptures, there will now be listed every known reference of the terminology and even a few associated terms [I apologize if I missed any...please notify me, I would like to add them to my list and consider them in context, thank you. This will not be a brief listing, and so again, I apologize for those not desiring to consider thoroughly. Additionally, Strong's Concordance definitions will be used as a mere reference tool, a help, not as the basis of any given definition, for that we will look contextually in the scripture for any given word.]
Let us look at the words used in scripture for "wine" and other such items:
The English word “wine” is found 231 times in 212 verses in the King James Version [other versions/translations/etc are not here in consulted, though that would be quite 'interesting', to see what they have done in this aspect]:
Wine [ Strong's H3196 ]: Hebrew Transliterated: yayin; Hebrew: יַיִן - the common word translated into the English: "wine". "From an unused root meaning to effervesce” 138 times “wine”, 1 times “banqueting”, 1 times “winebibbers” [ +05433 ]
Grape, Wine [ Strong's H6025 ]: Hebrew Transliterated: `enab; Hebrew: עֵנָב - commonly translated into the English: “grape”. “From an unused root probably meaning to bear fruit” 18 times “grape”, 1 times “wine”
In the Mouth of Two or Three Witnesses, let everything be established... for remember, all we are looking to do at this point is to establish that the Bible does indeed have a multiple use for the word "wine", and that it does not have to always mean the fermented alcoholic variety of the term.
Good Wine, Unalcoholic, Unfermented Wine:
Now let us begin to look deeper, and at specific texts, and we will also begin to consider the very "nature" of the two 'kinds' of "wine".
1 Corinthians 6:13 KJB - Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body [is] not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
Philippians 3:19 KJB - Whose end [is] destruction, whose God [is their] belly, and [whose] glory [is] in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
Philippians 3:19 KJB - Whose end [is] destruction, whose God [is their] belly, and [whose] glory [is] in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

Aristotle ["...(384 BC – 322 BC)[1] was a Greek philosopher and polymath, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great." [Wikipedia - Aristotle - Wikipedia ]] said,
"...Sweet wine does give off fumes, for it contains fat and behaves like oil. It does not solidify under the influence of cold and it is apt to burn. Really it is not wine at all in spite of its name: for it does not taste like wine and consequently does not inebriate as ordinary wine does. ...
...(Wine is a liquid which raises a difficulty: for it is both liable to evaporation and it also thickens; for instance new wine does. The reason is that the word 'wine' is ambiguous and different 'wines' behave in different ways." - Meteorlogica Book IV [English] - The Internet Classics Archive | Meteorology by Aristotle

With these words now listed and referenced, we can look to see if there is a dual use of the word "wine" in the scriptures in evidence of the "Yes." answer to the second half of the question previously asked.Romans 13:13;
Galatians 5:21.
In the Mouth of Two or Three Witnesses, let everything be established... for remember, all we are looking to do at this point is to establish that the Bible does indeed have a multiple use for the word "wine", and that it does not have to always mean the fermented alcoholic variety of the term.
Good Wine, Unalcoholic, Unfermented Wine:
[1] Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and [one] saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing [is] in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all. Isaiah 65:8
[2] Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries. Nehemiah 13:12
[3] So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. Proverbs 3:10
These 3 simple texts reveal that the word "wine" is also meant of the simple juice of the Grapes, even ripe from the harvest, right off of the vine, right fresh and invigorating from the press vats, the very firstfruits of the harvest increase even.[2] Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries. Nehemiah 13:12
[3] So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. Proverbs 3:10
Now let us begin to look deeper, and at specific texts, and we will also begin to consider the very "nature" of the two 'kinds' of "wine".
