It is brought down in many ספרים from many different תלמידי חכמים that there is a big ענין for each and every male Jew to drink two bottles of wine to bring in מר חשון. The מצוה מן המובחר is to drink wine but you can fulfill the מנהג by drinking two bottles of grape juice too. This is compared to the מצוה of ארבע מינים and therefore you should try to do הידור מצוה, and spend what you feel is fit to fulfill this great מנהג. May this ר''ח we merit to bringing of a גאולה שלמה.
לחיים!
like arba minim, you need hidur mitzvah! Grape juice is the a minority opinion followed only for healthy people.
