There is no consecrated wine, the Blood of Christ, after Mass is over.
All of it is consumed.
With love in Christ.

After the wine has been consecrated and become the Blood of Christ, it must be drunk by the priest and/or the Eucharistic ministers. Unlike the Host, the wine is perishable and must be consumed.
The Host (bread that has been consecrated and is now the Body of Christ) can be reserved and is placed back in the Tabernacle.

IF any of the consecrated wine is left after Eucharist, the priest or the Eucharistic Minister finishes it off.
In our church, the amount that is usually left would hardly wet your lips. Most times, we run out.

Seriously, the priest drinks it. It is the blood of Christ you know, you cannot just wipe it up with a bar rag.

Who cares. I dont think the catholics do either.
However the priest I've seen always have a smile on their faces.

There is no left over wine as far as I know.
The last few ounces I believe he drinks.
Peace!

In my time as a Eucharistic Minister I can tell you that there is rarely much left over. What is left over is consumed.

They drink whatever has been consecrated. Usually not much left.

I have heard they don't even give the wine to the people. He drinks it all by himself in front of them and the folk just got the dry oblates. Clever!
Edit: it is true! Only protestants get to drink the wine, catholics are not allowed.

They save for when they are on Y!A R & S and wait for someone to ask a question about Pascal's wager
