King David Sacramental Wine: A Guide to Sweet Concord Wine by the Case
King David sacramental wine is one of the most widely recognized sweet Concord grape wines in North America, and it is bought for a range of ceremonial and sacramental purposes. This guide explains what the wine is, what makes it suitable for sacramental use, and how to order it by the case.
What is King David sacramental wine?
King David, produced by Carmel, is a sweet red wine made from Concord grapes. It is a natural grape wine — fermented from the juice of the grape — in the traditional sweet, full-bodied style that has been used for sacramental and ceremonial purposes for well over a century.
It is deep red, rich, and markedly sweet, with the distinctive grapey character of the Concord variety. Low in alcohol relative to dry table wine, it is meant for ceremonial pouring rather than for pairing with a meal.
Why sweet Concord wine is used for sacramental purposes
Sacramental and communion wine has historically called for wine that is natural, made purely from grapes, and unadulterated. Sweet Concord wine fits that description: it is genuine grape wine, and its sweetness and deep color have made it a traditional choice for ceremonial use across many communities and congregations.
Requirements for sacramental use vary between denominations and congregations. Anyone purchasing wine for a specific rite should confirm that a given wine meets the requirements of their own tradition. What we can tell you plainly is what the wine is: natural sweet red wine, from Concord grapes, produced by Carmel, one of the oldest wineries in the world.
Ordering by the case
Congregations and institutions that use sacramental wine regularly typically order it by the case rather than by the bottle. King David is available both ways, and buying by the case is the practical choice for anywhere that pours it on a recurring schedule.
