Kosher For Passover
|
In recent times, there has been an
increased demand for kosher wines and a number of wine producing
countries now produce a wide variety of sophisticated kosher wines
under strict rabbinical supervision, particularly in Israel and
the Golan Heights, United States, France, Italy, South Africa, and
Australia. Two of the world's largest producers and importers of
kosher wines, Kedem and Manischewitz, are both based in the
Northeastern United States.
History
The use of wine has a long history in Judaism, dating back to
biblical times. Archeological evidence shows that wine was
produced throughout Israel until at least 636 AD when the area
came under Muslim control which prohibited alcoholic beverages.
The traditional and religious use of wine continued within the
Jewish diaspora community. In the United States, kosher wines came
to be associated with sweet Concord wines produced by wineries
founded by Jewish immigrants to New York. Beginning in the 1980s a
trend towards producing dry, premium quality kosher wines begun
with the revival of the Israeli wine industry. Today kosher wine
is produced not only in Israel but throughout the world including
premium wine areas like Napa Valley and the St-Emilion region of
Bordeaux. [1]
