Interesting. In the Catholic Church you have your first communion when you're in 2nd grade. It's a big deal - girls wear white dresses and veils, boys wear suits, there's a full Mass and the first people to receive communion are the boys and girls...
My parents' congregation rarely offered wine, but when they did, yep, it was the real thing.
ok, </hijack>
