Therefore it being the best wine could mean that it was because taste quality even if it was fermented.

I will still believe that it was unfermented and really don't think it matters either way for me because I wouldn't drink alcohol even if I could do it and be right. As I have said about my past, it would dangerous for me personally. Don't get drunk and you keep it right with scripture and possibly offend someone; Don't drink and you don't even have to worry about it at all. Every one can choose for theirself.
Well, if you still believe it wasn't fermented grapes then you would be wrong. Because it was fermented wine, and therefore the reason that the master of the feast makes the comment using a word which specifically means to be intoxicated. Is it important? Of course very important because anything else just doesn't make a bit of sense. Because we live in a culture that is increasingly becoming post Christian. Why? For the most part because of the nonsense propagated by Christians and their denominations, which leaves the un-church populace to think we don't even believe our own book. You stand there telling John Q un-Churched guy that John 2:10 means non alcoholic wine. He accepts your story, while he is thumbing through the internet on his smart phone. He finds all the information being offered by Prax and I on a multitude of different websites. He starts to offer you all this evidence. Yet, all you would say that it doesn't matter?
