Those who refuse to use actual wine do so mainly because in their view:

1. To drink any alcohol is a sin. (biblically indefensible).
2. They do not want to entice an ex-alcoholic to revert to drunkenness.

This second reason is likewise indefensible, particularly if it is done in regard to Christian Liberty, i.e., abstinence for the sake of the weaker brother. However, Scripture is crystal clear that the Church is ALWAYS to practice and/or legislate policy as the stronger brother, for the scruples of the weaker brother find fault with things which are in and of themselves good, i.e., sanctioned by God Himself. If the Scriptures teach that wine is to be used in the Lord's Supper, then wine should be used. Jesus did not turn water into grape juice.
