The Secret Behind Kosher Wine
The New York Sun reveals how kosher wine came about.
“Behind many of the kosher wine strictures, which are dictated by rabbis rather than the Bible, is an ancient fear that a wine used for sacramental blessings, if of uncertain origin, might once have been used for pagan rites.”
So remember to check the label when you head to the store. That bottle of pinot might have been used in pagan rites. Strega liquer is obviously right out. La Fee Verte most likely isn’t safe either.
