Default Will my wine be safe to drink?

I've been making homemade wine for a while now, but mostly from bottled grape juice. For my latest batch, I bought some grapes and juiced them with my juicer and added the yeast and sugar directly to it. Without having heated up the juice to destroy any bacteria, and without straining it at all, will the wine be safe? Will the alcohol that the yeast produces kill the bacteria? I don't want to have to throw it out but I will if I think it will make me sick. Thank you for your help.

alcohol is a natural antibiotic, so if your WINE has any alcohol in it then it will not have any bacteria or viruses in it

The worst thing you can end up with is wine vinagar. Great for cooking
