Sincere question: What happens to leftover Communion hosts & wine?

0

The priest usually drinks the wine left in the chalice. I’m not sure what they do with the remaining hosts. It’s not like it used to be back in the day. IF the congregation gets wine (which doesn’t always occur) the priest usually dips the host in the wine before giving it to the parishioner. The person doesn’t drink directly from the chalice.

The priest drinks the wine right away. If it has been a mass where the wine was given to the people too, there usually isn’t any left anyway (that I’ve ever seen). Leftover hosts are saved for the next mass. That’s what the tabernacle is for.
