Default Wine Not Sin Fun Alcohol Drinking Is

I'm a very new Christian, only baptized two days ago, and this is something I'm struggling with. My partner is completely biased against it, and says that it is what the Bible says, but all of my own personal research (which is very limited in comparison to his knowledge of the book) says only drunkenness is bad. In my opinion, there is a big difference in having a drink and getting drunk.

Proverbs 20:1
1 Peter 4:1-4

At the same time Jesus turn water into wine at a wedding.

Wine is really juice just man adding alcohol in it.

You can buy wine without alcohol or just buy juice as we know it to drink wine.

Examples would be St. Julian wine or just apple juice.

Their in the supermarkets all the time.
