did Prophet Isa really turn the water into wine? and was the wine alcoholic?

[User_23338]

to be honest, if Allah said that Alcohol is Haraam then there is no way that prophet jesus drank alcohol, that wine was mostly likely non-alcoholic.

[S.Belle]

not sure about the first question but alcohol wasnt haram until it was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: I was serving wine to the people in the house of AbuTalhah when it was prohibited and that day our wine was made from unripe dates. A man entered upon us and said: The wine has been prohibited, and the herald of the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) made an announcement. We then said: This is the herald of the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)

Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab: When the prohibition of wine (was yet to be) declared, Umar said: O Allah, give us a satisfactory explanation about wine. So the following verse of Surat al-Baqarah revealed; "They ask thee concerning wine and gambling. Say: In them is great sin...." Umar was then called and it was recited to him. He said: O Allah, give us a satisfactory explanation about wine. Then the following verse of Surat an-Nisa' was revealed: "O ye who believe! approach not prayers with a mind befogged...." Thereafter the herald of the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) would call when the (congregational) prayer was performed: Beware, one who is drunk should not come to prayer. Umar was again called and it was recited to him). He said: O Allah, give us a satisfactory explanation about wine. This verse was revealed: "Will ye not then abstain?" Umar said: We abstained.

i don't know why these christians would claim jesus turned the water into wine? why is the wine intoxicating, why isn't it normal to drink like water and juice and etc? why is there age restrictions for alcohol? don't they trust jesus or something?
