Dear, you see, when True Christians drink, we don't get drunk like the common people - we simply get merry:
1 Kings 4:20 Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry.
Ecclesiastes 8:15 Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 10:19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.
The Bible teaches us that it is good to have a merry heart:
Proverbs 15:13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
I hope that was helpful, dear.
Personally, I highly recommend Piesporter and Moscato.
