It is interesting, but I think the author may have made a simple mistake
in assuming that when Rashi says their wines were "stronger" than ours,
he meant "more alcoholic".   That may be what he meant, in which case he
was mistaken, but it seems to me that he may have meant "strong tasting",
or to put it more bluntly, "sour".
