Brad,
basically, if I were to have any wine it would be in my own home.  I am
Italian and grew up having a very occasional glass with our Sunday meal.
So, I would drink it at home with food.  Or I might have a glass if I ever
visit my family, who are 3,000 miles away.
I am not at all attached to it, however, and if the Lord should ask me not
to do it anymore, it would be no problem to not ever drink again.
I would not do it in a public place, lest I stumble a brother.
Vinny
