Usually the elder taking the talk will take the wine home and drink it. I did.

No one really eats the 'emblems' because they taste terrible but the biggest bully on the BOE gets the wine to drink later.

Oftentimes the wine is really cheap and no one wants it, so it gets poured down the drain (out of sight of the r&f to avoid stumbling anyone).

They are tossed. Except if the wine is good, then someone might take it home or drink it in the back. The bread isn't even fit for cheese.

This sounds SO insulting and disrespectful to me. But then, It isn't really about Jesus in the KH is it... so the disregard and trashing of the emblems is par for the course.

I didn't even take home, I drank it with a mate in the back room.

Any emblem is like a flag of a nation. It is of enormous value to those belonging to the respective nation, they do not distinquish its value before and after it's use.

My parents told me that Manechewitz wine was used. It is so nasty. Do you get a choice of red wine?
