There is no way in any of those passages that you can prove without a doubt that it was fermented grape juice.

Seems to reason that since alcohol has such strong condemnation in scripture that whenever the word wine is used it is probably referring to fermented juice.

The only plausible option I could see alcohol being permitted is for medical purposes,it's also interesting to note that the first mention of alcohol in the bible did not result in anything good, this refers to the Law of first mention.

There is absolutely not a single scriptural proof that would show God condones alcohol in any way, there are plenty ones that clearly condemn it.

Leviticus 10:8-11 said:
And the Lord spake unto Aaron, saying,
Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:
And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;
And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the Lord hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.

If all drinking is completely outlawed, then why would the Lord specify to Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu that they should shun strong drink and wine when they enter the Tabernacle? It seems clear to me that the commandment was to ensure they were of a sound, sober mind during service unto the Lord.

During times of leisure and recreation, no such commandment exists. We should exercise moderation, yes. We should remain sober, but most everyone I know can handle a glass of wine and still be sober.
