Did you know that in Utah, churches that serve sacramental wine as a part of communion are required to be licensed by the state? Utah's Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control has a 17-page document that churches must fill out and the pastor has to undergo a criminal background check. On the latest episode of "Utah Booze News: An Alcohol Policy Podcast" produced by FOX 13 and The Salt Lake Tribune, we talk to Rev. Tyler Piel of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Taylorsville and Barb Munoz, a member of his church, who has been helping other Lutheran churches across Utah apply for their sacramental wine license.
