I interpreted the advice from Paul to Timothy more as a tip to “don’t drink the water straight, it’ll give you the runs” than “wine is good for acid stomach”. Like Frazzled said.
Or maybe based on a piece of later advice -

The OP mentions kosher wines and the New Testament. I wonder how long Christians, who were previously Jewish, stayed ‘kosher’ or whatever the proper term is?
Mad Dog 20/20 is kosher? Who knew?
