ਕਬੀਰ ਭਾਂਗ ਮਾਛੁਲੀ ਸੁਰਾ ਪਾਨਿ ਜੋ ਜੋ ਪ੍ਰਾਨੀ ਖਾਂਹਿ ॥ ਤੀਰਥ ਬਰਤ ਨੇਮ ਕੀਏ ਤੇ ਸਭੈ ਰਸਾਤਲਿ ਜਾਂਹਿ ॥੨੩੩॥

Kabeer, those mortals who consume marijuana, fish and wine; no matter what pilgrimages, fasts and rituals they follow, they will all go to hell. ||233|| (1377).

ਅਮਲ ਪਿਯਤ ਜੇ ਪੁਰਖ ਪਰੇ ਦਿਨ ਰੈਨਿ ਉਘਾਵਤ ॥ ਅਮਲ ਜੁ ਘਰੀ ਨ ਪਿਯਹਿ ਤਾਪ ਤਿਨ ਕਹ ਚੜਿ ਆਵਤ ॥ ਅਮਲ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਜੋ ਪੀਯੈ ਕਿਸੁ ਕਾਰਜ ਕੇ ਨਾਹੀ ॥ ਅਮਲ ਖਾਇ ਗੜ ਰਹੈ ਮ੍ਰਿਤਕ ਹ੍ਵੈ ਕੈ ਘਰ ਮਾਹੀ ॥੧੧॥

The ones who use intoxicants feel sleepy all the time. And when they don’t get their dose then they feel feverish. And that person is good for nothing. He lies in his home like a dead person. (Charitropakhyan, Dasam Granth Sahib)

I know why the OP's asking this question. There's a tendancy amongst many middle aged Punjabi women these days to drink wine at functions and justify it under the context that its just a type if grape juice so not as bad as beers etc. I like to remind them that wine is in fact 3 or 4 times stronger than a beer. Thus, the one glass of wine is the equivelent to 3 glasses of beer.

No. I'd rather poke myself in the eye with a sharp pencil than drink wine.

Ha, ha, I've heard that as well. My mother has been encouraged (for the past number of years) by Sikh midddle-aged women at her work to buy wine for Christmas because, in their words, "It's just grape juice and seeing as you and your son don't drink there's no problem". Mata Ji obviously told them to jog-on but it makes me lol.
