3673. It was narrated that Anas said: "I was pouring wine for some people in the house of Abū Ṭālah when Khamr was forbidden, and our drink at that time was only made from unripe dates. A man entered upon us and said: 'Khamr has been forbidden.' The caller of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ called out and we said: 'This is the caller of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.'" (Sahih)
3673 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ سَاقِيَ الْقَوْمِ حَيْثُ حُرِّمَتِ الْخَمْرُ فِي مَنْزِلِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، وَمَا شَرَابُنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ إِلَّا الْفَضِيخُ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ الْخَمْرَ قَدْ حُرِّمَتْ، وَنَادَى مُنَادِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْنَا: هَذَا مُنَادِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ "

When this order reached them, they were drinking wine made of dates, not grapes, indicating that when the prohibition of wine was revealed it was for all kinds of intoxicants, whatever they are made from.
