Is it because it contains the Blood of Christ while the regular wine is cheap and contains the blood of the devil (perhaps because if a guy walks into a bar, the devil follows behind or with him. The devil buys his own drink, right?

Ask your paster or minister or priest if the communion wine is the most expensive wine in the world and he will tell you it is because it is changed into the blood of Christ or symbilizes the blood even though it tastes like wine. The communion wine no matter what the market value is, is the life giving blood of Christ drunk in rememberance of Him. Regular wine doesn't have that quality. By the way, the most expensive wine on the market that a person can buy costs $740.00 and comes from France. The cheapest comes from California!

Err, not sure what to say to that one. First off, if you are a Christian, a Catholic specifically, then you believe that through transubstantiation the wine really becomes the blood of Christ. The wine doesnt "contain" the blood of Christ; it is the blood of Christ.
If you are talking about the nominal cost of wine at church, then no, communion wine isnt expensive. It's not "good" wine.
Lastly, regarding the stuff about the devil walking into a bar, you are on your own for that one.

Actually, NO, it's pretty cheap - probably the cheapest you can get. To make it worse, they cut it with water before the Priest Transubstantiates the bread and wine into the "body and blood" (as Catholics believe).
On another note, Catholics are one of the few (if any other) religions that believe that the bread and wine ACTUALLY CHANGES into Jesus' body and blood, which is the reason that Catholics are restricted as to where they can receive Communion.

No, communion wine is pretty ordinary.
It's the chalice they drink it from that's expensive. In Catholic churches, the chalice is usually made of gold. The heads of those churches are literally instructed to get the best, most expensive chalice their church can afford.
If I believed in Jesus, I know he would weep at the hungry people who could be fed from the $4000+ it costs to buy a gold chalice for Catholic rituals.

Really? Is this a question or do you really do not understand the Last Supper to Jesus' request for his disciples. Obviously, you are not one doing it in his memory.
The Last Supper happened one day before Passover, so the wine Jesus used would be similar to that used in Passover. Check out your local grocery store.
If communion wine is more or less experience than other wines, you may consider that a poor rabbi requested the service to be done.
Answer: Maybe you will believe in something more than yourself because any answer will be useless to you until you do.

Sounds like a setup for a joke. A guy walks into a bar, the devil walks in behind, the guy says "Can I buy you a drink Satan?"..................

so what you are saying is that Chrisitans really are cannibals?
well it is just blood, so vampires?
now, really, why would you equate expensive wine, with a prophet that encouraged a pious lifestyle?
