I think they drank wine since they were celebrating Dionysus.

The origin of Anthestiria goes back to ancient times. In ancient Greece, these feasts were organised in Athens every four years in honour of the god Dionysos, the divine protector of the theatre. Anthestiria were also the festivals of souls, plants and flowers, celebrating the rebirth of man and nature".

That is in general the reason of the celebration of Anthestiria, which are still nowadays celebrated mostly in Cyprus but on a different concept on the occasion of the flower blooming period.

Wine was the main ingredient along with all the regular food stuff of antiquity.
