I can verify that the sacramental wine came from a Welch's grape juice can. The only time that my father opened any wine was to soak the Christmas fruit cake with some Manischewitz. That bottle stayed around for the next 2 or 3 fruit cakes.

Most Southern Baptist preachers view alcoholism as a sin, particularly when other family members are affected. I won't be surprised to see the pastor hunting for a new flock to tend to.
