Q: What makes Cribari Altar Wine different from regular wine that can be bought in a liquor store?
A: Cribari Sacramental Wine is prepared in full accordance with Canon Law. Most commercial wine that you would purchase from a store contains many unnatural additives available to winemakers today. Wines produced outside of California can be produced with up to 35% water and added sugar.

The reason for purchasing Cribari Altar Wine is to ensure you are receiving wine that is suitable for the high purpose for which it is intended.
