Because if the excess is in the wine, Jesus and the apostles were in excess when they took the Lord’s supper. We certainly would not want to take communion with wine if the excess were in the wine.
It seems that the belief that the excess being in the wine, would be somewhat similar to the idea that the excess is in the food, (in the case of gluttony ).
