How many times is wine mentioned in the King James Bible?

In John 2 Jesus turns a large amount of water into wine as his first miracle during a wedding. The guests considered it to be the most excellent that they had tasted. Later he makes mention to wine as an analogy (putting old wine into new wine skins). Finally, during the last supper, he told his disciples to drink wine and eat bread to remember him (communion). During this dinner he prophecies that he will not drink wine again until he is "the kingdom of God comes". Later when he is fed wine-vinegar while on the cross, he tastes it then spits it out.
