It widely varies across the Christian spectrum. Circumstances have allowed me to worship with many different Christian traditions to the most fundamental of fundamentalists to the most liberal, high church, low church, charismatic and everything in between.

Most Protestant denominations use grape juice instead of wine but the more heirarchal like Episcopalians, Anglicans, some Lutherans etc. still use wine. Catholic congregations pretty much universally use wine. The bread also widely varies.

On a personal note, I have observed that most Catholic congregations, at least the few who have allowed me to share the Mass with them as I am not Catholic, do use pretty decent wine. Many Episcopalians use really REALLY bad tasting wine. I pity the lay readers who have the duty to drink the unused wine lest it be wasted.

JW's only do their version of communion once a year and only the "anointed" are allowed to partake.

They use unleavened bread and I think red wine, or maybe grape juice. Not 100% sure about that.

when Jesus changed water into wine, he chose a fine wine.
Churches should do likewise!

The wine was for the enjoyment of wedding guests. It had nothing to do with communion.

Option in the poll were pretty irrelevant to my experience as I partake of whatever is offered and probably have been offered all at some point.

I didn't choose it. And I won't judge whoever did. Maybe it wasn't bad tasting to that person. Somebody must like all the wines that are sold are they wouldn't be for sale.

The Body and Precious Blood of Jesus Christ which, to many folks, appears to be the small, round host and red wine.

My late husband used saltines and grape juice when he played Mass with his friends, when they were children.
