Can one drink wine during the Nine Days?

(not being a wine drinker, I never bothered to find out. But I was asked, so I'm asking.)

Is that more s'fira?

So who says we can't have two lenten periods? But the sefira period is much more squishy, both in terms of what is commonly avoided, and in terms of its dates. There are very few days in those six weeks on which everybody is observing sefira restrictions.
