Not sure about the first two paragraphs, but the last paragraph was word for word from GotQuestions.org.
https://www.gotquestions.org/Jesus-water-wine.html
"""Those who oppose the drinking of alcohol, in any quantity, argue that Jesus would not have turned the water into wine, as He would have been promoting the consumption of a substance that is tainted by sin. In this understanding, alcohol itself is inherently sinful, and consumption of alcohol in any quantity is sin. That is not a biblical understanding, however. Some Scriptures discuss alcohol in positive terms.
Ecclesiastes 9:7 instructs, “Drink your wine with a merry heart.”
Psalm 104:14-15 states that God gives wine “that makes glad the heart of men.”
Amos 9:14 discusses drinking wine from your own vineyard as a sign of God’s blessing.
Isaiah 55:1 encourages, “Yes, come buy wine and milk…” From these and other Scriptures, it is clear that alcohol itself is not inherently sinful. Rather, it is the abuse of alcohol, drunkenness and/or addiction, that is sinful (
Ephesians 5:18;
Proverbs 23:29-35;
1 Corinthians 6:12;
2 Peter 2:19). Therefore, it would not have been a sin for Jesus to create a drink that contained alcohol.""""
