In moderation it has health benefits in cultures that consume animal meats.

This could be why religions embraced it. If you eat lots of lamb drinking wine daily will help keep plaque down in the arteries.

It has some food value. Natural beer and wine has far more food value than sugar based soda or diet soda and about the same calories as a sugar based soda, one of the most popular modern drinks.
