EspañolSACRAMENTAL WINE
(Redirected from Altar wine)
'Sacramental wine' is wine prepared for use in Christian liturgy as part of the celebration of the Eucharist. It is generally agreed that it must be made from grapes alone, with no added substances. Though the Eucharist is ultimately derived from the Jewish Passover Seder feast, kosher wine is generally not used. Most sacramental wine is made from Vitis vinifera grapes, sometimes under clergy supervision.
The wine industries in California, Argentina, and Chile derive from the Spanish conquistadores' requirement for sacramental wine. [1]
Under the doctrine of transubstantiation it becomes the blood of Christ once consecrated.
'Pitarra' is a wine used by Catholic priests in Spain. It is referred to as "Vino Puro" (pure wine) and "Pitarra". It is made from Oporto grapes.
In the Eastern Orthodox Church, sacramental wine used in the Divine Liturgy must always be pure red grape wine. It is often sweet, though this is not required. Wines with aditives, such as retsina are not allowed.
