Interesting. We have gone completely to something other than wine (for a similar situation; recovering alcoholics); I think denatured wine, at least I was told that the after I first remarked, mmh, the wine certainly has been tasting pretttty bad lately. But someone is experimenting as it seems to taste different every week. Some of it tasted pretty sweet. So we may be having juice sometimes (strictly speaking the Westminster Standards say wine, not fruit of the vine). I know what welches tastes like and we haven't had that at least. Logistically perhaps trying a split tray is too difficult the way we do things; or perhaps the unity in one type of drink is the question. We don't have both wine and the other. Dunno.
Is someone who is allergic to wine, also allergic to denatured wine?
I don't know if someone who is allergic to wine is also allergic to denatured wine. It seems to be the fermented quality that disagrees with some constitutions. I have also heard of someone in the PR who is allergic to gluten having a special "non gluten" bread used at the table.
As Rev. Pronk told me not too long ago, we do not gather around the fermentation at the table but the fruit of the vine. This could be fermented or non-fermented so far as we see it.
Blessings!
