Luke 7:33

31 And the Lord said, ^a“To what then shall I liken the men of this generation, and what are they like?

32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, saying:
‘We played the flute for you,
And you did not dance;
We mourned to you,
And you did not weep.’

33 For ^aJohn the Baptist came ^bneither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’

34 The Son of Man has come ^aeating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look, a glutton and a¹ winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

35 ^aBut wisdom is justified by all her children.”

Luke 7:33-34

Why would anyone call Him a winebibber if it were anything other than wine that He had been seen drinking? Jesus drank wine with His disciples at His last Passover service, promising that He would again join them in a glass of wine after their resurrection: "But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom" (Matthew 26:29).
