I follow your thought processes on this very well.
I agree that the cup is metaphorical as only a vessel, and that “The wine of Wrath” is what the prophet was alluding to.
I believe that the Lord was saying to take “A snifter of my anger and upcoming vengeance” to remind them yet again, of his loss of patience with their actions.
In no way does this distract from or dispute your ideas of why the usage of the “Wine”.
I agree that drunkenness was (and is) frowned upon as a loss of control and therefore a loss of power.
