White wine and red wine are both acceptable for the Eucharist.
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. Luke 22:18), natural, and unadulterated, that is, without admixture of extraneous substances.
The color of wine is not mentioned.
With love in Christ.

I don't know. I've been a Catholic all my life, and have only seen red wine used. But I don't know that there's any specific ecclesiastical ruling against white wine. Perhaps it's just a regional thing, or your church's supplier just happened to get a better deal on white wine (our supplier is a regional liquor distributor, and we get red wine sent to our church).

The colour of the wine isn't really important. Just because blood is red doesn't mean the wine must be red too. The communion itself and what it represents is more important ;)

why not-they screw everything else up!
The Cult motto is "WE NEVER CHANGE" but they continually do!
