Bill Hicks said something funny about this. I am paraphrasing, but it went something like this-
"When god was done creating the earth, he looked around and realized he had left pot everywhere. Then he said 'Oh, sh*t, now I have to create republicans!' "

In those days, wine was not alcoholic, it was basically Grape juice, Man decided to add alcohol of his own choice...
Also, alcohol is a very useful product, for cleaning, probably all of the housewives you meet will probably have an alcohol-based cleaning product, as most teenagers have an alcohol-based facial cleanser.
Oh and apples were not necessarily the forbidden fruit, some person probably started up that rumour in Sunday school at the Question "Which fruit was it, Miss?" from the 5 year old.... probably......

God created the Earth and everything there in . He thought we could use the two for good reasons. It is Humans who have fallen short, sinned and used plants, wine, to make their attitudes different. Abuse of these two and it is not good. Hemp was used for making ropes, until someone started to smoke it. It is the humans who have developed the negative side of these two . Alcohol has been since the beginning. Wine has been made out of many things. Just should not be abused. Know when to stop and not become a drunkard.

My dad was raised in a remote village in eastern Europe and had to shepherd the cows. He always use to tell me that the cows were smarter than a lot of folks. A plant such as or similar to marijuana grew as a wild weed in the grassy fields and the cows would never eat it except for every now and then a sick cow would take a bite out if it .
Every plant has it's purpose, and it's use is not to be abused.

God didn't invent alcohol or marijuana. God invented unfermented wine and man altered it. Marijuana is a natural growing plant and is not sinful it was not intended for the use it has today the human race being so corrupt we have just found ways to use mother nature for sinful purposes it is a sin to pollute gods holy temple ( which would be your body) and weed is a temptation that man has used to sin and pollute their holy temples.

They aren't sinful in themselves, the way we use them is sinful. As always, we misuse God's creation.

You forgot about apples (the original sin) and pork... not to mention cheeseburgers.
They are not "sinful" per se.
You may as well ask why God created sin.
