- paublyrne 7y agoIt's unlikely, wine's alcohol content is only around 13%, you would need about 4 times that to kill the average virus. It would also be on the lip of the cup rather than in the wine.

But pentecostals ime don't much like wine and I've never participated a recreation of the last supper when I've been to a pentecostal church.)
