To say that the wine was a sin, in and of itself, merely because it had alcohol in it, is to essentially say that Jesus and others consumed watered down sin. This would mean that Jesus wasn't sinless. And that my friend, unravels the entire atonement.

 Attention: During the Ancient Middle East everything was fermented from grapes, to goat milk.
During the Middle Ages in Europe animals were hung upside down and allowed to rot. This tenderized the meat through bacteria.
Kefir is middle eastern fermented milk, and the wines and vegetables were fermented. Jesus drank fermented grape wine. Yet, He would of never drank mixed wine, (as He was offered on the cross) or strong drink.
