You're conflating drinking wine with getting drunk on wine. Jesus literally ordained wine to be drunk as His blood and wine is thusly transformed during divine liturgy. So wine, becoming the blood of Christ is the greatest gift of all (along with the bread transformed into the body) and the path to eternal life (John 6:53-56)
The general rule in the Christian worldview is that nothing is intrinsically wrong or sinful (because God made everything good), but it becomes such when done out of place and lacking its purpose, i.e. when it's fallen and divorced from God.
Protestants tend to ignore such subtleties and this leads them to radical gnostic positions like puritanism or iconoclasm where the material and physical is seen as problematic and not as necessary and good.
