Original communion...I thought they always had to use wine.

It's usually very much watered down sherry in the UK, so I'm told.

Well these are the canons:

Catholic Church canons
Altar wine, or wine appropriate for use during communion, has been defined in many ways over the centuries, subject to certain criteria. The Code of Canon Law of the Catholic Church (1983), Canon 924 (emphasis added):
§1 The most holy Sacrifice of the Eucharist must be celebrated in bread, and in wine to which a small quantity of water is to be added.
§2 The bread must be wheaten only, and recently made, so that there is no danger of corruption.
§3 The wine must be natural, made from grapes of the vine, and not corrupt.[4]
This means that the wine must be naturally fermented with nothing added to it, and the wine itself cannot have soured or become vinegar, nor can it have anything artificial added to it (preservatives, flavours). Wines are made from Vitis vinifera grapes, generally but not always under clerical supervision. The Catholic Church codified this further in a document, which at one time was included in all Missals published, called De Defectibus, On the defects which may occur during the Mass. One section, IV, was dedicated to defects of the wine. While the Catholic Church generally adheres to the rule that all wine for sacramental use must be pure grape wine and alcoholic, it is accepted that there are some circumstances, where the priest is an alcoholic for example, where it may be necessary to use a wine that is only minimally fermented, called mustum.

Had too read the last line twice!

Like the look of those .....

They don't only look good, they taste good as well! The Rochefort 10 is my second favourite beer. After the Westvleteren of course.
