Being wise about wine – for 160 years

Being wise about wine – for 160 years

Inclusivity in our worship services has always been a priority – now it’s time to think about the wines we use.

So say Frank Wright Mundy (FWM), supplier to churches across the UK for 160 years.

In the mid-1850s Mr Frank Wright and Mr Lionel Mundy (photographed) were concerned about the impact alcohol was having on the nation and decided to do something about it by producing a non-alcoholic wine for use by churches. Using his pharmacy skills, Mr Wright produced his first non-alcoholic communion wine in 1858.

World-renowned preacher CH Spurgeon was among many church leaders to commend the wine to their peers.

‘We are pleased to be continuing the work to this day,’ said FWM’s Tom Barnes. ‘As a family-run business, working in partnership with churches, we offer two varieties of wine and will offer further guidance at the exhibition.’
