Besides it having to be a red wine (at least, I'm pretty sure that is a rule), I think the wine choice is up to each parish. Of course, there is a venerable tradition of having "brand' wines", if you will, specifically made for use in the Eucharist.

It depends really what the parish is using and what the bishop has approved. I have never received from an RC parish that I recall that uses red wine for the Eucharist. The Byzantine Rite tradition demands that the wine be red, but I've seen white also used. The one we use is a bit strong whilst the one in the OCA parish I visited is very sweet.

They have DL at 6 AM, 7:30 AM and 8:30 AM during the week in Ukrainian though. I visited that mass before and had no idea what was going on as I couldn't read the alphabet, but I attended the 4PM English mass with her the day I received communion. |
No, I don't know of this parish. The only parish I know of in NYC is St Michael's Russian Catholic, where you had a not very good experience as I recall. 
Nice.  Stations of the cross and rosary said. I mean this sincerely and with no disrespect, they look like a stellar example of a vibrant Ukrainian Catholic Church in the new world.

I think they're considered "latinized".

Re: Do Eastern Catholics use liturgical spoons?
 Way back in the 'dark ages' (about 1959 or 1960) Eastern Catholics in the Chicago did use liturgical spoons.

It would have been better if they used liturgical spoons again.

If the monastery was using spoons, and it is stil open, it probably still uses them.
The Melkites normally would not, it is not a universal practice.

I looked and found that in our parish we have two types of wine we are using:
Mogan David, Classic American Wine, Concord, Kosher, 11% alc. by vol
Manischewitz, American Concord Grape, Kosher, 11% alc. by vol
