grape juice
Real wine. It’s bloody awesome.
I’m not a catholic
Real wine. And it’s sweet tasting. ^.^
they offer Costco grapejuice. not bad, but real wine would be pretty sick.
grape juice.It is a church that children also attend.
Only real wine gets to be Jesus’s blood…
it is only real wine until it is changed into the blood of Christ, it only has the appearance of wine after consecration by the priest.
Both actually. We couldn’t agree so they offer mogen david wine and grape juice.
Before is consecrated is wine.
For Catholics is not call communion wine after the consecration… its the blood of Christ.
It is offer in every Mass unless is a communion service. Sometimes the priest consecrates enough for everyone but it depends on the feast day.
Actually, my church stopped offering wine, (it was real though) I think somebody got sick or got a cold sore and complained.
They gave us some bogus reason like the Priest actually needs to cleanse the cup, because it contained Christ.
I don’t really care though, I don’t receive it anyway. I don’t want to get sick from somebody else.
Grape juice, which also comes from grapes like wine does, but I used to go to a church where real wine used to be served, I used to get a buzz out of that little tiny enee bity cup because my system was clean, yeah, now I remember it’s the church I got married in, woops, hope my wife doesn’t read this.
Real wine. In my church, it’s actually not possible to have Communion with anything but grape wine.
Grape Juice. I believe all churches should serve grape juice because some of its members are going there to battle alcohol alone. To offer only wine to someone who has a alcohol problem is wrong.
Yes. It’s actually pretty strong, kinda like whiskey
(Here’s a little secret: Eucharist is probably the only real reason why I go to church.)
Our Church (Catholic) uses wine, as this is what Jesus used.
The Catholic Church uses real wine, especially made for Holy Communion. It has about 17% alchohol.
It’s just grape juice at my church. Anyway, what was considered the best wine back when Jesus was still in physical form was actually quite different from what people consider to be wine at all now. Back then, the best wine was actually non-intoxicating, and it was usually made from a very thick syrup produced from grapes in a vineyard. The Arcadians and other prestigious winemakers back in the Roman Empire were especially good at this process. According to Scripture, drinking alcoholic beverages is sinful behavior, so obviously Jesus would never drink the kind of wine we have today, let alone consider it his blood.
It saddens me that a number of perfectly good answers to this question are getting thumbs down.
The Unitarian Universalist FELLOWSHIP that I go to doesn’t HAVE rituals INVOLVING wine but we DO have Cafe Scientifiques where PEOPLE can bring their own alcoholic BEVERAGES if they want to, to drink WHILE they listen to a scientist TALK about whatever he’s studying. For EXAMPLE, if we had a computer engineer come in to talk about how he INVENTED the CAPS LOCK key then maybe I could GO there and drink some BEER.
My church offers real wine that becomes the Blood of Christ after the consecration.
Real red wine. I think the brand name is Mompo.
