Also, according to the Catholic Catechism, wine alone or bread alone is just as full a communion as both, so she could have only wine and be just fine, just like many people have only bread.
Of course, that's beside the point that I disagree with this generally meaningless action by the priest considering that the communion is no longer seen as a "necessary" thing by the Catholic Church.
