NAIROBI, Kenya — As part of a new national policy on drugs and alcohol, Kenyan government officials have been considering raising the drinking age to 21, from 18. But one new brand of imported South African wine is restricted to an even more select buyer: Catholic priests.
The wine is a proprietary brand the country’s Catholic bishops have adopted after bars and liquor stores began selling the wine Catholic churches had long dispensed at Communion.
