Hi Frans van Liere,
Samuel Bacchiocchi is a professor from Andews University and a 7th Day
Adventist. Since his arguments are many and I haven't yet read the entire
text, I hesitate to summarize his arguments. His conclusion, however, is
that the Bible gives consistent approval to the moderate use of
unfermented wine and consistent disapproval to any use of fermented wine,
other than as a medicine (as in I Tim. 5:23).
I have included a link to sample chapters below:

Regards,
