Not wine. Fruit is expensive and it takes too long. Mild beer was the go to. Like 2% so low enough it's functionality impossible to get plastered but kills a lot of pathogens and it's as easy to make as forgetting some barley in a barrel.
Most bottled fruit juice us actually mildly alcoholic as well.
Beer isn't made by leaving barley in a barrel... It's cooked. Also wine was and is the preferred drink in southern Europe since the Romans who looked down upon the "barbarians" who drank beer.
All this "people drank beer because water was unsafe" is just an urban myth: https://lemm.ee/comment/4891280
