In the Mormon church, we use water for the Sacrament (that's what we call it rather than "Communion.") It's because of a revelation from God to the prophet that explained that it didn't matter what liquid was used for the ceremony. The church had some opponents that had poisoned or otherwise tainted the wine / grape juice used by the early members.

Then there is also the Word of Wisdom. We believe the Word of Wisdom to be inspired revelation from God to a prophet (just like in the times of The Bible) that tells us not to drink anything with alcohol, coffee, or smoke, do drugs, etc. The revelation tells us that it is adapted to the weakest people, so even though some people might be able to drink in moderation, it's best for everyone to not partake, in order for everyone to stay safe from addictions.

FYI the real name of our church is called The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. "Mormon" is just a nick name people call us since we believe the Book of Mormon and the Bible to be the words of God. Mormon is actually a prophet in the Book of Mormon who abridges the story of his people into what we now call the Book of Mormon.
