raditionally, kosher
wines have been the
very sweet, slightly
thick, Concord grape or
Malaga wines. In the past 10
years, there has been an in-
creasing interest in varietal
wines on the part of the wine
makers as well as the
consumer.
Before Passover, the peak
season for kosher wines, sales
of the traditional sweeter
wines surpass the varietal
ones by a sizeable margin.
However, the rest of the year
the varietal types are far
more popular.
The growing interest in
wine and the consumer's
more sophisticated palate for
drier wines is responsible for
the increased sales.
Jews have a religious and
sacramental connection to
wine. It is a customary part of
many occasions and holidays.
At a circumcision, a baby's
lips are brushed with wine; a
bar mitzvah boy says his first
blessing over wine from the
pulpit. At wedding
ceremonies, wine is sipped by
the bride and groom. At the
Passover seder, at least four
glasses of wine are supposed
to be drunk. Friday night and
Sabbath noon meals are
preceded by a blessing over
wine.
From early history there is
evidence that wine was part
of the life of Jews. It was used
to pay taxes, as well as being
a symbol of hospitality and
prosperity. In the 18th and
19th centuries, with Jews
dispersed all over the world,
as much as 85 percent of the
population was involved in
wine or liquor production or
distribution.
Kosher wines are processed
and bottled only by Jews. If a
non-Jew is involved in pro-
cessing or serving, the wine
must be boiled or pasteurized
before bottling to be con-
sidered kosher.
In modern times, some
manufacturers of non-kosher
wines sterilize their factories
and work with rabbis to bot-
tle a supply of kosher wine.
Kosher wines must have a
rabbi's certificate of approval
on the label.
Carmel, an Israeli wine
company started by Baron de
Rothschild in 1882, and
distributed in the U.S. by
Seagrams, exports roughly 70
percent of their production to
the United States. Carmel
was the first to market
varietal kosher wines. Selec-
tions include chenin blanc,
rose, sauvignon blanc, yin
rouge, yin blanc, cabernet
sauvignon, riesling, French
columbard and white
zinfandel.
Kedem wines, owned by the
Herzog family, produces
wines all over the world
under numerous lables reflec-
ting country or area of origin.
They are the largest producer
of kosher varietal wines, with
approximately 36 whites, 24
reds, 10 blush/rose and 10
sparkling wines. Some of the
countries of origin are Israel
(Gamla), France (M&G and
Herzog labels) and Italy
(Bartenura), with familiar
names like white zinfandel,
vouvray,
chardonnay,
sauvignon,
cabernet
