As usual, my first instinct is to turn to Cruden's Complete Concordance to the Old & New Testament & Apocrypha: this is Cruden's page on wine, which includes a lengthy introduction before the also lengthy list of verses which mention wine (before we get on to wine-bibbers, wine-bottles, wine-cellars, wine-presses etc). If it's too small to read, I can send close-ups. But my conclusion from a quick glance is that wine would appear to be a staple in the Old Testament - the detail about it being forbidden to priests in the tabernacle suggests to me that the drinking of wine is common practice.
