Wine...

My family used to attend a local church and I used to go to the Sunday School and then the youth group. We knew the minister quite well and held many family events in the church hall. At youth group one night I went exploring in a back room and found a box of very dusty and forgotten wine. I was 14 at the time and in my eyes I'd hit the jackpot! I plotted with my two best friends the following day at school and during the next family event I was to sneak a bottle out and go get tipsy on the park. The next family event is only a few weeks off and we put our plan into action. I sneak the bottle out under my hoodie and meet my friends round the back of the hall where we proceed to wipe the years of dust off the bottle. We all lick our lips in anticipation of our ill gotten gains only to find it was non-alcoholic wine! I'm probably going to burn in hell for stealing from a church and all for a bottle of glorified fruit juice!

Yeah
It used to have to be actual wine - tasted akin to sherry - but the Pope issued an edict a few years back saying that grape juice could be used if the priest was teetotal.

Seemed a bit odd considering Catholics are supposed to believe in transubstantiation.
