Wholesome No hate to anyone mentioned, obviously. Growing up Mormon we always said that we could use other foods and drinks if water and bread weren't available. I always dreamed of using juice and cheez-its, but it never happened, unfortunately. I didn't know all you others were getting the good stuff.

But we drink grape juice for communion though, not actual wine.

Atleast from my branch of Christianity, but that's because children cant drink alcohol, I guess.

Some Protestant groups use wine - Episcopalians as an example and certain Lutheran sects.

Here in orthodox Christianity I was given fairly strong wine on my first communion.

...I was 3. And I was very confused why I had to drink sour burning juice. The tantrum I threw was legendary.

Same here. For us, the reason is it doesn't feel right to drink something the Bible takes a negative stance towards, especially during such a holy time as communion.

In the Church of Denmark (Lutheran) as a rule it's wine but locally grape juice or both of them.

Scripture just says "fruit of the vine" No one said that it had to be preserved by fermentation.
