My local church once ran out of communion wine due to an oversight. The deacon, who was also the town grocer, made a dash to his store and mixed grape juice with vinegar. Nobody noticed.
Shame on that deacon ....brilliant innovation but wine needs to be blessed.
Churches that preach abstinence from alcohol use grape juice, so clearly it's not a firm requirement that the grapes be fermented to fulfil their role.
