Sacramental wine, Communion wine or altar wine is wine obtained from grapes and intended for use in celebration of the Eucharist (referred to also as the Lord's Supper or Holy Communion). The Eucharist is generally associated in some way with the Paschal Seder, and the Berakah, during which Kosher wine is drunk.
