The gemra in tannis(26b) says why was the parsha of nazir next to the parsha of kohen mevarach? The gemara answers ,just like by nazir he is assur byayin so too kohen mevarach is assur with wine. When the passuk talks about Malchei Tzedek it mentions the bread first and wine after why is this? There is a yerushalmi(pesachim 10:6) that says wine with bread doesn’t make one drunk. Now we can explain the passuk, Malchei Zedek is called Kohen L’kel elyon and he is only allowed to drink wine after bread, that is why the passuk starts with bread and ends with wine.(K’motzei shalal rav)
