But I for one have searched the scriptures high and low for a way for someone to make this blood drinkable and have it taste, look and feel like wine...It ain't there...

Then you haven't run into John 6 or The Last Supper. If Christ says I'm a jelly doughnut, then I'm a jelly doughnut whether I look and taste like one or not.

To deny Christ's authority to pronounce reality and existence is to deny his deity. To ignore Christ's statements of John 6 and refuse to "interpret scripture by scripture" in understanding the events of The Last Supper is to deny the body and blood of Christ.

Well you can certainly be a jelly doughnut if you want to...

Would you take Jesus literally if He said you are a refrigerator??? Or What if Jesus told you that you were an oak tree???

Problem with your jelly roll fantasy is that while Jesus said He was actual meat and drink, He not only didn't tell any of you how to turn a little cracker and a glass of wine into HIS flesh and blood but Jesus never told you to even attempt to try such a thing...

To deny Christ's authority to pronounce reality and existence is to deny his deity.

Riiiiight...You guys don't believe the gates of hell mean the gates of hell...You claim keys of the Kingdom of God mean power...

You don't believe a thousand years means a thousand years...You don't believe 'after his kind' means after his kind and a million other statements God said...So spare me the drama...

To ignore Christ's statements of John 6 and refuse to "interpret scripture by scripture" in understanding the events of The Last Supper is to deny the body and blood of Christ.

According to your religion's private interpretation of Scripture, maybe...How many times have you mocked the idea of comparing scripture with scripture???
