What about the mixing of the water and the wine that is supposed to accure before the wine is poured?
The water only needs to be mixed with the wine in the priest’s chalice. In fact, adding water to all of the chalices is unacceptable.
 
If wine is not being poured into a chalice during Mass then there is a failure to follow this rubric:

"The deacon (or the priest) pours wine and a little water into the chalice, saying inaudibly:
“By the mystery of this water and wine …”.
(From The Roman Missal, Catholic Book Publishing Co., New York, 1985, page 370).

The same is in Missale Romanum, Libreria Editrice Vaticana, 2002, ISBN: 8820972719, page 514:
"24. Diaconus, vel sacerdos, infundit vinum et parum aquae in calicem, dicens secreto:
“Per huis aquae …”.

Also in the 2002 General Introduction to the Roman Missal (GIRM) which can be accessed from romanrite.com/girm.html :

“142. After this, as the minister presents the cruets, the priest stands at the side of the altar and pours wine and a little water into the chalice, saying quietly, Per huius aquae (By the mystery of this water). …”

“178. After the Prayer of the Faithful, while the priest remains at the chair, the deacon prepares the altar, assisted by the acolyte, but it is the deacon’s place to take care of the sacred vessels himself. He also assists the priest in receiving the people’s gifts. Next, he hands the priest the paten with the bread to be consecrated, pours wine and a little water into the chalice, saying quietly, Per huius aquae (By the mystery of this water), and after this presents the chalice to the priest. He may also carry out the preparation of the chalice at the credence table.”
John, he wasn’t talking about the Priests chalice of wine which gets poured at the appropriate time but the ones use for the congregation when they offer the precious blood to them.
 
LOL I had the same amusing thought myself.
As did I 🙂

P.S. Just got back from my honeymoon, saw that something went wrong with the forums – curious what my post count got bumped down to 🙂

A hacker destroyed the entire forums. My post count is down to because I had to re-register! :banghead:

I feel your pain, so did I. Not only that, the ‘New Post’ feature won’t register my posts and no one can explain why.
 
Ha ha, I thought this thread was going to discuss if it’s okay to drink wine before Mass. Is it okay?
Only water is premitted during the fast before receiving the Euchrist. So if you intend to receive, no wine drink for one hour before communion.

Yes, I know that. So, I can have 3 glasses of wine, an hour before going to Church, and receive? 3 glasses of wine would make me feel very forgiving and charitable towards all my fellow men (an women)😃 It would enhance my spiritual experience! I would feel the love of God and good fellowship with all!😃
 
well, even though God did create alcohol for our enjoyment, I don’t think its use is necessary to feel the Love of God.
