How are the ablutions handled?

Again, practices vary greatly. In the majority of parishes the Pastor consumes the remaining wine, sometimes with the eucharistic ministers assisting in the consumption. In a relatively small minority of parishes the ablutions are made in the Catholic/Anglican manner of then adding water to the chalice(s), swirling, and consuming.

That small minority of parishes are also likely to have a reservation Tabernacle.
