Any advice is helpful

It's true that wine can stand on its own as a beverage, but it seems to me that Foodie's comment about wine as "food" is meant to situate wine in its primary cultural context. Similarly, olive oil (and butter, etc.) is also food, but not many people would guzzle it alone or rely on it exclusively for nutritional purposes.

Conversely, oreo cookies and pork rinds are technically food (edible solids), but I doubt anyone could live off of them for much time without consequence of serious malnutrition.
