When extreme teetotalism became an identity thing for US Protestants they started using grape juice In fact Dr. Welch of Welch's Grape Juice invented pasteurized grape juice for this purpose, as a loophole (it's the same as wine but we killed the yeast in it)

Catholics consider this cheating though and you have to use real wine (Meanwhile the Mormons straight up replaced the wine in their communion with water)
