The argument is not that the definition of wine is malleable (which it definitely can be without falling down your slippery slope), but that being picky about the definition misses the point of the Eucharist entirely.

Well, when Jesus was incarnated on Earth his primary focus was on how we just have to be loose with our definition of wine.

I don't know why the Catholics have such a problem with this. Pretty much every story you read about Jesus, he was pointing out how wine could be anything. Even water.

So yeh, being picky about the definition of wine is probably the most blasphemous thing anyone could say or do.
