I guess you could just cut out the middlemen.....

 

[Iconodule]

Nothing too crazy. A lot of Orthodox monasteries already make their own wine.

I don't see anything wrong with this, we get the wine from the Monastery for Holy Communion, plus like you said it cuts out the middle man.

No I never said that, just giving my opinion, why  so defensive?

Clergy blessing food (and wine) in my church on Pascha.

Some church wine is alcoholic.

Is it okay to eat where an altar is present, or is this because the church has no hall?

I heard one of the priests himself saying it wasn't OK once, but on this particular day we did eat a part of the food in the nave. There is a hall, larger than the nave itself. I initially thought they'd just bless the food and take it out.

Not sure if this was a mistake, or an exception thought through.
