The question

What are the traditions in making wine for church, or is there no traditional way?

The answer

The process of making church wine ensues from the same basic fermentation process as most non-alcoholic wines. It is common for churches in the United States to use the Manischewitz kosher wine as it is rabbinical supervised and trusted for its purity and non-contamination with other products.
