The answer
Drinking wine is not prohibited because Christianity is not against the substance, but against the abuse of the substance. But in order not to be a stumbling block for others, it has been the custom that the clergy not drink wine especially during this period "Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never again eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble" (1 Cor 8:13).
