To the list in general and Gilberto in particular, I think the question as to why Jesus or Moses were mute on this particular question is tied up with the concept of "progressive revelation".
If you believe in the Bible, they weren't just mute on this particular question. Important rituals in the old and new testament involve drinking wine. If you do a search on "wine" in the Bible you actually find a lot of quotes.
This concept is not really acceptable to Islam in general because Islam believes that the Qur'an is perfect and uncorrectable over time.
Personally, my attitudes about progressive revelation comes from elsewhere.
