basically anything before industrialization... poor people drank weak beer instead of water and rich people wine diluted with water... quite ironically from the industrialization up till WW2 the alcohol content of beer climbed from 2% V/V to 20% V/V, stronger than wine basically... that's the working class for ya
at least that's what I remember
also Descartes lived for quite some years on a diet of wine & raisins
