We have seen in the above scriptures that the wine Jesus made was not fermented. It was fresh grape juice, which is also referred to as wine (OINOS). To say that Jesus made 120 gallons of fermented wine is blasphemy. God’s word says "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is a brawler, and whoever is led astray by it is not wise" (Proverbs 20:1).
Sorry, but what you are trying to offer isn't even close to Biblical reality. Jesus turned water into fermented wine. The leader of the feast tastes the water which Jesus converted and states it was the best. Also the indication of the best wine is that the best wine would make people intoxicated that they wouldn't be able to notice they were being given poor quality wine. Sorry, but to interpret that piece of scripture any other way is laughable.

Abstain from alcohol with all fervency which is in you, but don't by any means wrest the scripture just to defend some personal prohibition.

Game over.
