Kosher/Jewish Wine

[Van The Man]

Rocky -

A "Kosher" wine is a wine which meets Rabbi's standards, not necessarily one made without additives. Basically, it's meant to indicate that a Rabbi has overseen all of the activity going into producing the wine.

Kosher wines are widely available all around the world....or I should say, the world where wine drinking is part of life. The Muslems don't belive in any alcohol so Kosher wines would obviously not be available there.

There all Kosher wines available at all budgets as far as I know. There are the less expensive ones and then there are wines costing more with higher reputations. I belive the 5th Growth from Margaux, Château Prieuré - Lichine is a Kosher wine. (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.)

In any case, the best advise I can give to you is to get comfy with a good retailer and let them know what you'd like to buy. They should be able to help you find the Kosher wines you want at all quality and prive levels.
