The United Methodist Church doesn't use wine when celebrating Holy Communion. They use Grape Juice because of their long-standing opposition to alcohol. Generally, what is left is poured out. More and more UMC's are using a chalice and not individual cups. The Elder or Priest dips the wafer or piece of unleaven bread into the chalice while the person is standing. Its still common to see churches still having its members kneel at the altar rail to receive the sacrament. In England, the British Methodist generally use wine, not grape juice. John Wesley was understandably opposed to alcohol because of the number of alcoholics back in those days. It caught on in the American colonies and after the Revolutionary War. Today, most United Methodists are much more willing to drink in moderation then to abstain.
