Kosher Wine

Kosher wine is grape wine produced according to Jewish religious law, and more specifically, Jewish dietary law. Only Sabbath-observant Jews can oversee and supervise the entire winemaking process. Vineyards must adhere to specific rules and all ingredients used in winemaking, including yeasts and fining materials, must be kosher. Wine that is labelled “kosher for Passover” must be kept away from contact with any kind of grain, dough or bread. The finished wine must carry the “seal of approval” of a kosher supervising agency or organization, an authoritative rabbi, or Jewish religious court of law. Today’s Kosher wine is a far cry from yesteryear and is available from wine regions all over the world.
