Some Catholic Churches do and some don't. A Catholic receives Jesus entirely both body and blood with or without the "communion wine". Most Catholics receive the Body of Christ, Communion under both speceis is done on certain days such as the Feast of Corpus Christi.
What you refer to communion wine is actually the Blood of Chist" under the appearance of wine.
This refers to your question on Transubstantiation which you took off.
In the book of John ch 6:vs 53-56, his listeners were stupefied because now they understood Jesus literally—and correctly. He again repeated his words, but with even greater emphasis, and introduced the statement about drinking his blood: "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him" (John 6:53–56).
Paul confirms the Real Presence of Jesus in the body/bread and blood/wine by saying, "Therefore whoever eats the bread and drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord. . . . For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body, eats and drinks judgment on himself" (1 Cor. 11:27, 29). "To answer for the body and blood" of someone meant to be guilty of a crime as serious as homicide.
How could eating mere bread and wine "unworthily" be so serious? Paul’s comment makes sense only if the bread and wine became the real body and blood of Christ.

i've got seen some church homes that grant the two the wine and the bread and a few who grant in basic terms bread. i do no longer think of the matters of gluten are fairly in contact interior the determination. If a guy or woman is allergic, the church would make some particular concessions for that guy or woman besides the undeniable fact that it might probably be interior of that parish in basic terms. and that i heavily doubt the completed church might make concessions for the very narrow % of the inhabitants with Coeliac affliction. My youthful brother has Coeliac affliction and that they have not executed something for him. Transubstantiation happens previous to intake. whilst the bell is rung in the time of eucharist, then it has surpassed off. It does not ensue interior of people who've gained communion. besides, the eucharist does not exchange substance to advance into human flesh. in any different case, we would be cannibals and vampires. and that i do no longer think of i'm able to manage the seen human flesh being in my abdomen and what its dietary value is. Christ is appreciably modern-day, no longer bodily modern-day.

My parish offers the Eucharist under both species, body and blood, at every Sunday Mass.
With love in Christ.
