Different parishes use different kinds of wine, so what’s used in your area may not be what’s used around here, etc. Around here, a rosé or blush wine is generally used, one that is very fruity (i.e. sweet).
He said the supplier only sells to parishes. Still, he could ask the style of wine-- I’m sure they’d have no problem identifying the wine as a white zinfandel or whatever.
I meant that the manufacturers, even if they do not sell the wine, should be able to tell you whether it’s a zinfandel or a chardonnay or whatever.
Is it actually a red wine? How sweet is it? Is it a port?
I checked there site.For the wine it says it ships to churches or clergy only. but that is the wine they get at my parish
Then you might not have any trouble finding something comparable, because most of the wines are listed there by kind. So find out whether your parish uses a burgundy, haut sauterne, chablis, port, or whatever, and ask at the wine store for wine of that type.
Yes, Cribari altar wine is what we use in my parish also. We get ours from the liquor store (run by the provincial gov’t) and the boxes are marked as only being available to parishes. Heck of a lot cheaper than getting it from a company which takes a cut of the profit.
