why do priest put more water than wine in a chalice?

Question

or vice-versa whichever is right

Answer 1

They put in wine and just a bit of water. The reason is because when Jesus was on the cross he was bleeding and they they stuck him in the side and water came out. So the Priest mixes water with the wine to reenact this event.

Answer 2

In the ancient world, the Greeks added water to wine because it was often thick, gritty and too strong. It was simply good taste to add water to wine before drinking it. The Romans loved all things Greek, so they adopted Greek manners and spread them to the lands they conquered. And even though it was not originally a Jewish custom to add water to wine, it soon became part of the Passover meal itself and, hence, part of our Mass.
As early as the fourth century, catechists explained that the water represented humanity and the wine, divinity. Once you put water into wine, it's impossible to take it out again. Because of Jesus, humanity can never again be separated permanently from God. So the custom continues.

Answer 3

unfortunately i'd say you're wrong if you're referring to a catholic priest. he puts more wine than water. obvisouly you know that the human body is made up of blood & water so the priest adds a drop of water just to signify that mixture

Answer 4

If they put more water it could be a cost saving practice or it could be that the wine is not good.
