The Lutheran church I attend has both wine and grape juice available, as
does another church I occasionally attend. (I have heard of  but never
experienced Episcopal churches that do this.) I notice that many young
children in both churches opt for, or are directed to, the grape juice.
Some adults also choose it, for their own reasons. If the Methodists could
be persuaded to offer both, perhaps the problem could be solved in that
manner.
