Code of Canon Law of 1983, Most Holy Eucharist, offering of bread and wine, wine element, wine in the liturgy

Sažetak
The determination of the rituals and ceremonies of the Eucharistic celebration (cf. can. 924- 930) falls under the authority of the Church (cf. can. 838 and 841), which must faithfully uphold that which Christ our Lord Himself originally laid down. The elements for the most august Eucharistic sacrifice is originally bread (panis) and wine (vinum) in which a little water must be mixed (cf. can. 924, § 1). The wine must be natural from the fruit of the vine (de genimine vitis), sufficiently mature and not spoiled (can. 924, § 3), not mixed with other substances (vinum purum). Invalid elements include: wild wine, wine obtained from unripened grapes ; thin vine, obtained from grape marc by adding water ; artificial wine and soured wine or wine essentially changed by adding water or other liquids. Wine obtained from wild (forest) grapes is an ambiguous category. Wine obtained from dried grapes (Prosecco) is a valid element only if it has the colour and flavour of real wine. Must in itself is also valid, but its use is generally impermissible. In individual cases, if there is a justified reason, an ordinary may permit its use. It is categorically forbidden to use wines obtained from other fruits or cereals because that would change the element for the Eucharistic celebration. Therefore, exclusively wine obtained from grapevine plants. White, pink (rosé) or red wines are permitted for use in liturgy. The celebrant (priest) is called upon to choose the more stringent and safer option when choosing the wine for the Mass, but also the vintner, who should be approved by the competent ecclesiastical authority for production. The sacramental wine is (not unlike wheat bread) not merely "the fruit of the vine", but also "the fruit of man's labor", the result of the ability given to us by God, while man (viticulturalist and vintner) is called upon to use them so that the species of wine is prepared (from the vineyard to the altar) in a way that it corresponds to the valid and permisible celebration of the Most Holy Eucharist, i.e. that it complies with the provisions of can. 924, § 3 and other canon regulations, particularly those adopted by the Apostolic See.
