The FACT remains there were many gentiles that were close to Jews and went to synagogue with them. Some converted and became Jews. Until the conversion process they were gentiles. Cornelius was a gentile. Those with him were gentiles. He would have been a man that would have been invited to a Jewish wedding ceremony.

You confusing Gentiles with Gentile converts. Ruth was married to one and was willing to leave her people to become a member of Israel.
Gentiles that went to Synagogues were converts or "near" converts..gentiles that obeyed the law except circumcision
and I see no prohibition for Gentiles to drink wine
