Sacramental wine

[Leopard]

I’ve often wondered if certified kosher (if that is a proper term) wine
would be permitted as an altar wine. It could be supposed that the wine at the Last Supper was kosher. Does anyone have an answer to this?

If a kosher wine is a pure grape wine that otherwise meets the requirements, it is valid matter. Brand or label is not relevant.

I just bought some kosher wine and it is just as the one in Mass. If you’re looking to buy, it tastes good. It’s a bit sweet, but it seems like that’s what you’re looking for.

Hello,

In regards to the taste of the sacramental wine, I think it is because the wine used is a young wine and hasn’t aged. This will cause the wine to retain a more fruity flavor to it.

This is very true. A couple weeks ago, I could swear that the Precious Blood had an apple bouquet to it (wine snobs know what I mean by that). I wanted to go out and buy the unconsecrated product it was so good.

Maybe we use cheaper wines so that they don’t have a line sniffing the chalice and spitting out afterwards. They also then don’t have to worry about providing cheese and crackers.

Well, my experience of an EM has left me with a nice buzz after mass more than a few times.

been there, done that. I get quite a buzz doing 2 masses a day with very small congregations.
like I tell my deacons, don’t chug the Lord…
