Sabar

Living in Europe generally and Czech Republic especially as someone who abstains from drinking alcohol requires you to answers the same questions over and over again.

To be honest, I am not curious at all to try them.
And I have forgotten to tell people something.

That I actually can drink wine. To be more specific, I will be offered wine of the top quality that's out of this world. Wine for me. That is if only I make it into the heaven.

When Islam comes, it bans wine because the cons outweighs the pros. Analogically, you can think of it like banning sweets and candies from a kid who has caries. It takes a lot of effort to restrain from enjoying what you really love.

So Allah promised the Muslims wine in heaven. The kind(s) that don't give you bad hangover or make you pink in the face/act silly. It takes a lot a patience and faith  because ignoring what you really want for a long time is beyond hard. So the reward has to match the obedience shown.

So to the very pious of Muslims, the worldly objects of desire are nothing. They can give until they have none more because they know in the immortal Hereafter they will be rewarded far better and in multiples.
