Indeed THEY knew the difference. Its the translation causing us the difficulty...along with our modern conception of the word "wine"
There is only one word in the greek that was translated to english. That same word refers to any fruit of the vine whether fermented or not.

In some cases the Bible clearly indicates "new wine" which is not fermented.
In others its more ambiguious becase of the translation.
