What is kosher organic wine?



Dear Friends of Organic and kosher Wines,

the word “kosher” means proper or fit. The use of kosher wines is stipulated in Judaism for sacramental purposes, and for certain ceremonies a predetermined amount of kosher wine is drunk. Devout Jews however not only drink kosher wines, they also eat kosher food. The Jewish laws for the production of kosher products guarantee the hygiene and purity of the products which are produced exactly according to the rules of the Torah.

Kosher wine may only be produced by persons who keep the Sabbath. A rabbi checks all the working utensils (pumps, barrels, filters, hoses etc) to make sure they are in a perfectly hygienic condition and that they are sterile. They have to be accepted as “kosher.” Foreign substances or substances having animal origins may not be used.

It is not until the criteria stipulated have been fulfilled and confirmed by the rabbi in charge that the wine is given a seal by the rabbinate, which is on every bottle of kosher wine on the cork, on the capsule and on the label.

Since organic or ecological grapes contain no artificial fertilizers and chemicals and thus are free from chemical residue, they are suited perfectly for the production of “kosher” or pure wines. Organic wines are certified by independent testing organizations.

Many people who are especially sensitive (allergies, asthma, stomach) have told us repeatedly that they can’t drink “normal wines” any more, but they have no problems with “kosher wines” or organic wines.

Your good health!
