That’s interesting, Gatesheader. I prefer grape juice myself on most occasions. I think Rabbi Lazer Brody, an anglophone Breslover rabbi in Israel, only drinks alcohol twice a year, on Pesach and Purim, and only drinks very small amounts. R’ Shalom Arush is the same way, I understand, and says lengthy impromptu prayers before drinking, to ensure it has the positive spiritual effect rather than something neutral or negative.
