Wine would definitely not be water because clean drinking water was more valuable than wine for sure.

Probably meaning taste/consistency wise if we compare them to wine we can buy

If you water down something alcoholic, the alcohol kills microbes in the water, allowing you to drink water that you can't drink straight. As long as you have basic filtration and you're not watering down your drinks with mud then you're good.

That only works with spirits or very strong wine though.
