Alcohol is a solvent for many flavours. That's why you have a lot of it in perfumes, and that's why alcohol-free drinks don't taste as good as the originals. In Europe, we drink a lot of alcohol with food exactly for that reason (wine dissolves the fats of the sauce or just the meat and mixes and enhances the taste).

I'd really like to enjoy it without any drunkenness afterwards nor any effect on my health.



Yeah, if there was a product that would let me enjoy real wine but the effect of the alcohol would be similar to a 3% mild beer, I would use that fairly often. A typical wine at 11-12% is a bit too strong for many situations.
