Default Is it true that in Jesus' time wine was non-alcoholic?

Someone stated this in response to another person's question about whether it was okay to drink alcohol. Is there any evidence to back this statement up? I have never heard that before.

in jesus' time, and maybe until now, there were wine that are non-alcoholic

in the bible, we are not allowed to drink alcoholic drinks except for those who are (in pain) about to die, maybe for him/her not to feel the pain

Jesus turned water into wine not grapejuice. The bible says to drink wine for a heavy heart.

The alcoholic content was very low. The water in that part of the world was very BAD and the alcohol was used to kill the bacteria. The water that they got was generally used to bathe and there was a great deal of waste material found in it. They did not use the processing that we do today with our alcohols. Have a great evening.
