Are you allowed to skip the eucharist and go straight for the wine? I ask this because it seems like at my parish no one ever skips the eucharist and just recieves the wine. But they recieve the eucharist and skip the wine all the time.
 
You receive the fullness of Christ - Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, in either species of the Holy Eucharist. Those with Celiac disease, or gluten intolerance frequently receive the Blood alone.

Trivia that is not so trivial: The collection of 27 Books and Epistles which we know as the New Testament came to be called that for a single reason:
Matthew 26:28
For this is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many unto remission of sins.
Mark 14:24
And he said to them: This is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many.
Luke 22:20
In like manner the chalice also, after he had supped, saying: This is the chalice, the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you.
1 Corinthians 11:25
In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me.
The Holy Eucharist! “The Cup of Blessing”, the “participation in the Blood of Christ”, the “Chalice of Salvation” is the New Testament.

ONLY for a Good reason, ; NOT personal preference.

The ENTIRE Christ is is both species; BUT the NORM is to receive it in the form of the Consecrated Bread [Now Jesus Himself]👍

And pray tell, where do you find that it is for only a good reason?

Sacred TRADITION, and if memory serves it is also in Canon Law ?]

Can. 925 Holy communion is to be given under the form of bread alone, or under both species according to the norm of the liturgical laws, or even under the form of wine alone in a case of necessity.

[NOTE] Canon Law list the options IN THE ORDER OF PREFERENCE UNDER BREAD ALONE is the FIRST PRFERENCE

Pre-Vatican II ; it was the NORM to receive only the Sacred Host, and even in Vatican II documents this was advocated.👍

Thanks for asking
 
Although the instruction states in #282 that pastors,* “should instruct the Christian faithful that the Catholic faith teaches that Christ, whole and entire, and the true Sacrament, is received even under only one species, and consequently that as far as the effects are concerned, those who receive under only one species are not deprived of any of the grace that is necessary for salvation.”*, There is no mention of the faithful being permitted to receive Communion only under the species of wine alone, as there is mention of the faithful being allowed to receive under the species of bread alone. Also, it would seem that according to the directions, in order for one to receive Communion under the species of wine, that they must first receive under the species of bread (unless by some special permission for example cannot swallow the Host)…

The chalice is usually administered by a deacon or, when no deacon is present, by a priest, or even by a duly instituted acolyte or another extraordinary minister of Holy Communion, or by a member of the faithful who, in case of necessity, has been entrusted with this duty for a single occasion;
Whatever may remain of the Blood of Christ is consumed at the altar by the priest or the deacon or the duly instituted acolyte who ministered the chalice. The same then purifies, wipes, and arranges the sacred vessels in the usual way.
**Any of the faithful who wish to receive Holy Communion under the species of bread alone should be granted their wish.
**285. For Communion under both kinds the following should be prepared:
If Communion from the chalice is carried out by communicants’ drinking directly from the chalice, a chalice of a sufficiently large size or several chalices are prepared. Care should, however, be taken in planning lest beyond what is needed of the Blood of Christ remains to be consumed at the end of the celebration.
If Communion is carried out by intinction, the hosts should be neither too thin nor too small, but rather a little thicker than usual, so that after being dipped partly into the Blood of Christ they can still easily be distributed to each communicant.
286. If Communion of the Blood of Christ is carried out by communicants’ drinking from the chalice, each communicant, after receiving the Body of Christ, moves and stands facing the minister of the chalice. The minister says, Sanguis Christi (The Blood of Christ), the communicant responds, Amen, and the minister hands over the chalice, which the communicant raises to his or her mouth. Each communicant drinks a little from the chalice, hands it back to the minister, and then withdraws; the minister wipes the rim of the chalice with the purificator.
287. If Communion from the chalice is carried out by intinction, each communicant, holding a communion-plate under the chin, approaches the priest who holds a vessel with the sacred particles, a minister standing at his side and holding the chalice. The priest takes a host, dips it partly into the chalice and, showing it, says, Corpus et Sanguis Christi (The Body and Blood of Christ). The communicant responds, Amen, receives the Sacrament in the mouth from the priest, and then withdraws.

The first part of your citation has to do with the matter of what is made available to the parish; so it is not dispositive as to an individuation in a parish which offers the Eucharist under both species, as to which the communicant can receive.
I know of absolutely no reference where the communicant has celiac disease; they obviously may bypass the Host and receive from the Cup. The better question might be, if they do not have such disease, may they receive only from the Cup? Your references do not address that issue, but rather address the issue of what is presented to the parish as a whole - only the Host, both, or only the Cup.
 
The question at hand is whether or not an individual (who apparently does not suffer from celiac disease) can receive only from the Cup.

Neither of your sites address this issue.
NOT as thee NORM
