What Makes Kosher Wines Kosher?
Now when you read this blog title, you might have said, duh, it has to have the hescher! Well obviously, but there’s a little more to it. Firstly, out of all of the people who handle the wine, there must be at least one Sabbath observing Jew involved in the entire winemaking process, from the planting and the growing of the grapes to the harvesting and fermentation of them. Any finings must be kosher too, which excludes any caseins like egg whites and milk, which have been used in the past sparingly to give the wine more body.
Although you may typically think of kosher wines as sweeter than most, they don’t have to be. In fact the sweetness of Manischewitz wine comes from corn syrup which, because it comes from corn, is forbidden for Passover. This is why Passover Manischewitz is different – it is produced with cane sugar.
So I bet that after this little Kosher wine tutorial, you’re about ready for a glass. Well whether you choose Manischewitz wine, Kedem wine, or any other kosher wines, buy it from onlykosherwine.com. They have all the best kosher wines at the lowest prices. And if you’re feeling like something a bit stronger, they have that too.
