Kosher Wine

Kosher wines are those that are handled only by Sabbath-observant Jews. In addition, kosher winemakers are forbidden to use any products, such as unauthorized yeasts or animal-based fining agents that might fall outside the parameters of kosher convention and thus compromise the ritual essence of the wine. Early production of Kosher wines in the U.S. relied primarily on Concord grapes and required various amounts of residual sugar to make them palatable, but no anymore. A new generation of winemakers around the world are making award-winning kosher wines from vitis vinifera grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Wineries that produce kosher wines can be found by selecting the kosher filter on the Winery Search page.
