Wine

I think it depends on the kind of the fermentation. For example, some cheeses can have like 2% of alcohol, yogurt has 0% etc.

Yogurt is not 0% alcohol. It ranges from <0.5 to 2% alcohol and the content increases from date of manufacture. Even the lowest alcohol yogurt in studies, although very low % alcohol is not zero.

There are many foods, additives, ingredients, sauces, etc that has alcohol in them. I hope you're not trying to achieve 0% alcohol content in your diet because that can get quite meticulous.

From 0.05% to 2%.

The damage to the body was less important than the celebration of marriage, I guess.

Life is trading something for something, almost always.

Average life expectancy in the Greco-Roman world could be remarkably short by today's standards. I would be hesistant drawing any kind of prescription based on the fact people in biblical times drank wine, sometimes in amounts today that we would recognize as unhealthy. Sanitation was often poor and communicable diseases and plagues were extremely common, and medicine, such as it was, was expensive and of limited use, so a little wine was the least of their worries.

Alcohol is quite good for disinfection, so it made sense in times with drinking water infected with bacteria and generally dirty. Not so much in today's times.

I'm not sure why you bolded the lower limit of the % because you also wrote earlier it remains unknown what alcohol dosage is safe.

doesnt wine hurt the bod which is the temple of God? And yet Jesus turned water to wine? why

Anything you put in your body in excess hurts your body. Even something like water--water poisoning is real, but you have to drink a lot of water.

This is why many things are measured in dosage. Some things are really bad in even very small doses, things we usually refer to as toxins or poisons.

Alcohol can be poisonous when consumed in excess.

A glass of wine, for the average person, is perfectly fine.

Further, when Paul says our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, he isn't talking about what we eat or drink, he's talking about our actions. Specifically he's talking about having sex with temple prostitutes. In the ancient world many pagan temples had temple prostitutes who slept with worshipers as an act of worship to the pagan god. Obviously having sex with any prostitute is bad, but the emphasis Paul is making is that since our bodies are temples where the Holy Spirit dwells, polluting ourselves by sleeping with temple prostitutes desecrates God's temple (our bodies).

No, not in moderation.
