The third one has two (2) things going for it. It's the most natural. And it is actually used.

Are 1 and 2 grammatical if I want to emphasize the date is not next Wednesday?

Well if it's not the coming Wednesday, then you can't say that, can you? However, you might say, for example: a week from Wednesday.

You can also say next Wednesday or Wednesday week (Aust & NZ).

You can also say next Wednesday or Wednesday week (Aust & NZ).

Then how about the Wednesday on the next week?

 

[Tarheel]

Well, if it's Tuesday then next Wednesday could be seen as the next day.

Number 1 is grammatical but not natural. Number 2 is ungrammatical.

Since there are 3 sentences we have been discussing, that's why I put "among" instead of "between". Do this rules still exist that I should follow?

Thanks.

Many of the dictionaries here (I haven't time to check them all) mention this usage. For example,

If you must choose between two or more things, you must choose just one of them.

Students will be able to choose between English, French and Russian as their first foreign language.
