It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the people of Iraq said to him: We buy dates and grapes, then make wine from them and sell it. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: I bear witness before Allah, and the angels, and those who hear among the jinn and mankind, that I do not permit you to sell it, nor to buy it, nor to extract it, nor to drink it, nor to serve it, because wine is impure, the work of Satan.
