What brand of wine is usually used at mass in a Catholic Church?

Question

Not just red wine, but is there a certain brand or type of red wine?

Answer 1

I'm sitting here with a Catholic who says he's unsure of the exact kind, but it's from the Post winery in Arkansas. My own non-Catholic church uses Taylor Tawny Port.

Answer 2

There is no particular brand, and red wine is not the only type that may be used.

Facts About The Wine

The wine that is used in the most sacred celebration of the Eucharistic Sacrifice must be natural, from the fruit of the grape, pure and incorrupt, not mixed with other substances. During the celebration itself, a small quantity of water is to be mixed with it. Great care should be taken so that the wine intended for the celebration of the Eucharist is well conserved and has not soured. It is altogether forbidden to use wine of doubtful authenticity or provenance.

Answer 3

There isn't a particular brand or type. Not all Catholic churches even use red wine. I've been to some that use blush or white wine. My priest did say that sacramental wine is usually higher in alcohol than ordinary wine to act as a disinfectant since so many share the same cup.

Answer 4

I know, this is one of the reasons I became Catholic. Protestantisms, Orthodoxies, and Easterns are illogical because they obey the Catholic Church's decree on canonicity and yet not on other matters. Protestants in particular claim that everything necessary for Salvation is in the Bible, yet nowhere in the Bible does it say which books belong in the Bible. What's telling is that the Orthodoxies and the Easterns do not make this claim. So most Christians, except Protestants, started 1500, do not hold that Christ gave the ability to interpret Scripture to anyone but bishops. The same goes for other non-Protestant claimants of christianity. What Catholics have that trumps the Os and Es is that they continue to convene Ecumenical Councils like Rome and Jerusalem, where all participants agree in full because of the final say of the Pope. Christ would not found a Church which is "divided against itself." And such supernatural phenomena as miracles and canonized and un-canonized saints supports both that claim and that of Christ's divinity, for 'you shall do works even greater than these.'

Answer 5

No, there is no usual brand. It can be read or white.

The General Instruction of the Roman Missal, section 322 states:

The wine for the Eucharistic celebration must be from the fruit of the grapevine (cf. Lk 22:18), natural, and unadulterated, that is, without admixture of extraneous substances.

With love in Christ.

Answer 10

Haven't been to communion since childhood, just remember that it was very sour, sure made me pucker up. Never could understand why the altar boys laughed about sneaking into it when it was worse than vinegar.
