LOL no.
You can make grape juice out of freshly squeezed grapes. As long as you consume the beverage quickly, it will not turn into wine or vinegar.
People have been doing this since ancient times, already gave you enough examples.
Of course, wine is of the fruit of the vine, after all.
Grape juice is also of the fruit of the vine, so its permitted for the LORD's Supper.
The Bible says it, I believe it, that settles it.
There are at least 6,000 Christians held in North Korean prisons who might disagree with you.
You are talking about prison, where communion would be impossible to have even with only bread.
Bread, they have. With bread, communion they could have--Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong had communion on the moon.
Regardless, I asked the question of whether Catholic doctrine provided for such a situation, and I've been told (and then verified by my own research), that indeed, Catholic doctrine does provide for that situation. Therefore, I'd conclude that Roman Catholicism recognizes the possibility of such a situation.
Latin Vulgate:Please show this "older and TRUER" translation of Numbers 6:1-4.
Latin Vulgate:
vino et omni quod inebriare potest abstinebunt acetum ex vino et ex qualibet alia potione et quicquid de uva exprimitur non bibent uvas recentes siccasque non comedent
Douay Rheims:
They shall abstain from wine, and from every thing that may make a man drunk. They shall not drink vinegar of wine, or of any other drink, nor any thing that is pressed out of the grape: nor shall they eat grapes either fresh or dried.
Sulphites.
All wine contain sulfites, even the ones produced in ancient Israel contained this preservative.
Lion King,
I make booze, myself, and can assure you that you don't need sulfites to make wine. If you say sulfites were known in ancient Israel, that's plausible, but it doesn't mean that *all* their wine contained sulfites.
Sulfites provide four main functions: They can be used to kill unwanted yeasts before introducing a selected yeast; they kill many harmful bacteria; they can be used to halt yeast's growth before bottling a wine; they decrease oxidation.
People can, have, and do make wine without sulfites. To make safe, cheap wine without sulfites, you have to take certain safety precautions and often use weaker strains of yeast if you don't want your end product to be strong (ancient producers would fore-go a lot of the safety we take, and survived just fine most of the time). It is a very easy process.

You can also buy sulfite-free wines today
I understand your confusion.
Its a funny language thing.
Grape juice is pasteurized, its undergone a process to change its nature. It is something different than what it is before.
Must isnt processed, and it will ferment unless you freeze it and suspend the activity, that is part of its nature. Its alive, you could say. It is immature wine, not sterile juice.
Its a bit like the difference between cider and apple juice (despite the fact that some unscrupulous people try and sell pasteurized cider.)
Or like a sapling. A sapling is an immature tree, and if I leave it, it will become a mature tree. But if I process the sapling, it becomes a log or pole, it is not a tree any longer.
