In Athens, the Greek city state that we know most about, women and men generally socialised seperately. Upper class men had parties at which they were entertained by hetarea (prostitutes known for being well educated and witty as well as beautiful) and dancing girls, flute girls etc. Respectable women did not attend these occasions.

Answer:

Wine driking was very common on popular events like Greek symposia, however it was for men only as women was not considered fit for intelectual and cultural occasions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wine was a famous drink in All Greece they popularized the drink all over the Mediterranean. Men and women drank wine, however they were particular events where women could not go there to drink wine, in fact, they could attend but not as guests, but as a entertainment for men who were considered more intellectual and upper in every sense than women. Women could drink wine sepately from men and far from the high-status opportunities.
