If you know me well, you know I make my own beer and wine. If you know me really well, you know I really enjoy an ice-cold mug of IPA or a nice glass of Malbec.
I firmly believe wine is a good gift from God and that, while living on earth, His own Son enjoyed it.
On more than one occasion I’ve been asked how I could possibly defend my enjoyment of alcohol being a Christian. Is wine in the Bible portrayed in a positive way? Yes. It is.
I also understand there are some who believe differently than me in this matter. It is not my point here to have “doubtful disputations” (Romans 14:1). Food and drink are not central matters when it comes to Gospel-living. As Paul said, "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.” (v.17).
My only point here is to share with you some of what I’ve learned from God’s Word that has informed my opinions about alcohol. Why do I think it is Biblical to appreciate wine?

"Bottom line: if you don’t like wine, don’t drink wine.
If you enjoy wine, enjoy it to the glory of God—responsibly and with great joy.
If you don’t drink wine—and there are many reasons to abstain from it—do so with the attitude that wine is a blessing from which you are abstaining.
If you drink wine, remember wine is a celebratory drink, and as Christians we have every reason to celebrate."
Again, read this article in its entirety and be blessed!
