Did you know that Pope Leo XIII (who happens to be one of my favorite pontiffs) awarded a Vatican gold medal to the creator of the cocaine spiked wine? Queen Victoria, Thomas Edison and Pope Pius X were also said to have carried a bottle with them. If I were forced to choose the Coca-Cola of the day or Coca-laced wine, I'd choose the wine as well. Perhaps that is why they had so much energy for the industrial revolution?
