Would a Noahide "nazarite" abstain from all alcohol or just alcohol made from the grape?

Those details of the actual nazarite vow (Numbers 6:1-21) only applied for Jews, and only during the time of the First and Second Holy Temples.

I understand that corpse unclealiness is not relevant to a Noahide since Noahides cannot contract ritual impurity. I also understand that since Noahides can offer burnt offerings anywhere on a private altar that it would not matter if there were a temple. But, why would it not be relevant to a noahide "nazarite" as to whether he was in a promised land or not?

Why can't a Noahide be a "Nazarite?" It's not a mitzvah that's expressively forbidden to a Noahide in the Divine Code. Which parts of the vow are relevant and which parts are not?
