Jesus Changes Water Into Wine
2 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”4 “Woman,[a] why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
Jesus is either annoyed or nonplussed at the situation. It doesn't concern him. You are the one that didn't prepare correctly.
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.[b]
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.
8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”
They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”
11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

Jesus wasn't an alchemist. He did not actually turn the water into wine. Jesus is what you might consider a "mind control administrator", so to speak.
Have you ever used a drug or drank alcohol? If you have, did you ever do the exact same thing and have two completely different experiences? Have you done the same thing and had 17 different experiences at differing times?
In my mind, Jesus may have done some kind of trick here. Obviously, the wine is going to have a slight hue to it. It isn't going to look clear like water. So, something other than water is in those jars. Ancient food coloring? Who knows?
The people that didn't see what Jesus did had no idea what to expect. When the master tastes the "wine" he is expecting a "a wine of some sort". That was the expectation. His spirit were fooled into believing that it was the best wine possible because there was this initial expectation.
Once the master approved of the wine, everyone else in the party was going to trust the master. Here here! The party goes on. Everyone is drinking water and living it up. Dance party! It's on. Let the music keep playing.
Why the servants and what part do they take in this passage? Well, the servants know the truth. The truth is that it isn't wine.
Alright, even though I'm being told "no, don't write this", I'm going to write it anyway. My guess is that one of the servants saw everyone else drinking the "wine" and wanted to try some. That servant tasted the "wine" expecting to get the same effect as everyone else and was like "WTF is this? Has everyone else gone mad?!"
The end.
