Wine at Mass, could it be replaced?

don't u guys think that maybe the whole sharing of the wine thing is just a little unsanitary?

No, because they wipe it down after every person.

do they wipe the backwash out of the actual liquid itself? Nope. bacteria love to cling to metal chalices. I swear.

Yeah, they place a sponge in the cup, after each sip.

I don't like the idea, either.

I'd rather share a sip of wine with a church-goer than share a joint or a blunt with most people, if I was that concerned with catching disease.
