Market price: $75+ a bottle[1]...of course. I'm somehow reminded of corporate McDonald's grift of contractually forcing Taylor ice cream machines on franchisee

  For one thing, that’s the case price, not the price per bottle. And that’s not really a sound analogy, as Cribari isn’t the only sacramental vintner, nor is Ziegler’s the only supplier of said wine. And there are general canonical provisions (varying by diocese, of course) for using wine that isn’t approved as sacramental; it just saves a few headaches (and, obviously, concerns about validity) to go ahead and procure the sacramental stuff, especially when it’s not exorbitantly expensive per case. Here’s a longer, more punctilious discussion of the variety of wines that may qualify for sacramental use in the Roman Catholic Church: https://wdtprs.com/2013/04/quaeritur-is-sherry-valid-matter-for-the-consecration-during-mass/ https://wdtprs.com/2013/04/quaeritur-is-sherry-valid-matter-...

    > For one thing, that’s the case price, not the price per bottle. Thanks for the clarification; the devil certainly was in the details on that one.

      Yeah, it’s really not clear unless you click through and see that the weight per unit is 37 lbs. Unsurprisingly, purveyors of church goods almost invariably have terrible websites. Ziegler’s is comparatively decent, lol.

  Are there any other manufacturers of commercial scale soft serve machines? No matter where I go it's always a Taylor.
