Holy Canadian Communion Wine, eh!

SKOLNIK has had the honor of seeing our wine barrels used to craft some of the most prestigious wines in the world. Now, we are proud, and “blessed”, to add Holy Communion Wine to the list! In August we received an inquiry from the Order of the Magnificat Monastery in Quebec, Canada. The Order was looking to purchase some of our stainless steel wine barrels to protect their current wine inventory. We often get unique inquires but this one really piqued our interest. The Monastery is completely self sufficient; they grow their own food, make their own clothing, build their own buildings, repair their cars and they make their own communion wine! Like any good winery they were looking to improve the way that they make their wine. They have been using plastic tanks to store and age the wine, but found that this is not an ideal medium for making fine wine. Looking to find an alternative to plastic tanks, the Monks discovered SKOLNIK stainless steel wine drums on our website. After several emails and telephone calls, the Monks decided that the SKOLNIK stainless drums would be the perfect vessel for their wine. Father Jim and Father John made the trip to Chicago to visit SKOLNIK, tour the manufacturing process, and pick up their wine drums. We had a splendid time with both Fathers and we look forward to visiting their Monastery and Winery and to sample some of their wine. Check out the photos of their visit.
