Yes, in moderation. Jesus told them, "Fill the jars with water." So they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, "Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter." So they took it. And when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, ... (John 2:7-9) Wine is used throughout both the Old and New Testaments. The first recorded miracle of Jesus was to turn water into wine at the wedding in Cana. It is true that we should not become drunk but used in moderation, wine is a biblically acceptable beverage. Go, eat your bread with joy and drink your wine with a merry heart, because it is now that God favors your works. (Ecclesiastes 9:7) Stop drinking only water, but have a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent illnesses. (1 Timothy 5:23) Wine and music delight the soul. (Sirach 40:20) What would Jesus do? Jesus had a cup of wine with dinner. In fact, because of this practice, some teetotalers accused him of being a drunkard. See Matthew 11:19 and Luke 7:34.

Yes, so long as it is not done to excess. Wine is even used as one of the substances, along with bread, that is transubstantiated into the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Eucharist (Holy Communion).

The Catholic Church has no prohibitions against drinking except that it should be done in moderation. In other words no drinking to excess, no mixing driving and drinking, etc.
