The first way to learn about kosher wines from the region of Israel is to, obviously, taste them. The second way is to read about them. And when you do the two at the same time, you could very well become a kosher wine connoisseur. The perfect book to get all your Israeli wine facts is Rogov’s Guide to Israeli Wines, available at OnlyKosherWine.com. The book is the definitive guide to this world’s fastest growing region of quality kosher wines.

The guide is now in its fifth year of publication and every year, it only gets better. It contains detailed information on 175 wineries, a tasting chart where you can pencil in your own ratings, contact info for each winery listed, and almost 1,800 wines tasted and colorfully reviewed and described. The guide also noted which of the Israel’s extensive wines are indeed kosher wines and even goes into detail on what exactly makes a wine kosher. There is also an interesting discussion on whether there is a contradiction between quality wine and kosher wine. If you’re interested in visiting the region, there is even a chapter on tourism at the wineries and a guide to tasting wines.
