What is Jeff (how many Brazilians are named Jeffrey?) planning on doing with 30 gallons? Sell it? Oh wait, selling a drug barred by the Controlled Substances Act would be against the law but taking religious tax-free donations is ok. That slippery slope is now a 1000' cliff.

The Catholic Church had an exemption during Prohibition. Precedent should apply, I suppose.

Here's an interesting tidbit:

In 1925, the Department of Research and Education of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ reported that "the withdrawal of wine on permit from bonded warehouses for sacramental purposes amounted in round figures to 2,139,000 gallons in the fiscal year 1922; 2,503,500 gallons in 1923; and 2,944,700 gallons in 1924. There is no way of knowing what the legitimate consumption of fermented sacramental wine is, but it is clear that the legitimate demand does not increase 800,000 gallons in two years."
