Mevushal wines
As mentioned above, when kosher wine is mevushal ("cooked" or
"boiled"), it thereby becomes unfit for idolatrous use and will
keep the status of kosher wine even if subsequently touched by an
idolater. This style of wine is frequently used in kosher
restaurants and by kosher caterers. Traditionally, this edict was
followed literally. The boiling process killed most of the fine
mold or "must" on the grapes, and greatly altered the tannins and
flavors of the wine. Later, the process was modified to require
only that wine be heated to 194°F (90°C). (At this temperature,
the wine is not bubbling, but it is cooking, in the sense that it
will evaporate much more quickly than usual.) This managed to
reduce some of the damage done to the wine, but still had a
substantial effect on quality and aging potential.[1]
Recently, a process called flash pasteurization has come into
vogue. This method avoids causing the juice of the grapes to
simmer or boil, and is said to have a minimal effect on flavor, at
least to the casual wine drinker. Indeed, the non-kosher winery
Château Beaucastel flash pasteurizes and its wines are considered
among the world's finest, although few others have copied this
technique. In most territories, the bulk of kosher wine is
supplied by wineries producing both kosher wine and wine for the
general market. However, irrespective of the method, the
pasteurization process must be overseen by mashgichim to ensure
the kosher status of the wine. Generally, they will attend the
winery to physically tip the fruit into the crush, and operate the
pasteurization equipment. Once the wine emerges from the process,
it can be handled and aged in the normal fashion.
