“Nor can it be doubted that the modern Catholic discipline best secures these ends. The danger of spilling the Precious Blood and of other forms of irreverence; the inconvenience and delay in administering the chalice to large numbers — the difficulty of reservation for Communion outside of Mass: the not unreasonable objection on hygienic and other grounds, to promiscuous drinking from the same chalice, which of itself alone would act as a strong deterrent to frequent Communion in the case of a great many otherwise well-disposed people; these and similar “weighty and just reasons” against the Utraquist practice are more than sufficient to justify the Church in forbidding it”

Maybe it's time for the RCC to enter the 20th century.

Getting that last whiff of wine out the plastic might be a problem since down to the tiniest fraction the “real presence” is there in the wine and if a tiny spill is “irreverence” imagine what tossing a particle of wine into the trash would be.
