Would transmuting wine to a deadly poison be considered molecular transmutation?

Unless the process specifically entails manipulating molecules, it would just be transmutation.

What the person above said. If there's no context besides "made wine poisonous", it seems more like Poison manip than anything. If it's "turned the wine into poison", sounds more like normal transmutation, but arguments can be made that its just poison manipulation. If they specify that it's controlling molecules, its molecular transmutation.

Transmutation requires you to change molecular structure

Usually in fiction, Transmutation is treated like a form of Creation that relies on an existing target. Creation and Matter Manipulation are separate since Creation has to do with making things out of nothing, and Matter Manipulation isn't making matter, but controlling the molecules within them.
Technically yes, turning a character into glass does change their molecular structure, but the character oftentimes didn't control the specific molecules and atoms, they just decided to turn that person into an object and it happens.

Even if they didn't "control the specific molecules, they still manipulated them

Yes, but so is Temperature Manipulation and Acid Manipulation. I'm pretty sure you don't just do something like, list Matter Manipulation just because a character has Existence Erasure, and thus it means they also erase the matter of something, when the applied usage of that could just be given by only listing Existence Erasure. There isn't any rules specifically against that though, so if you want, you can index characters that way I guess, but it would be rather unnecessary
