What makes a wine kosher?
A big misconception about kosher wine is that it’s made differently from non-kosher wine or it’s been “blessed” by a Rabbi. In fact, kosher and non kosher wines are made the same way, it’s just the handling that is a little different.
In order for wine to be kosher it must adhere to the following:
- A Sabbath-observing Jew to handle the process.
- Each and every ingredient added, whether in filtration or clarification along the vinification process must be kosher.
All tools and equipment must be dedicated to kosher winemaking alone. - Aside from the constraints mentioned above, there needn’t be any difference between the techniques used to make a fine kosher wine or a fine non-kosher wine.
What does mevushal mean?
- Mevushal is perhaps the most misunderstood term in the kosher wine tradition.
- In Hebrew, mevushal means literally boiled. However, mevushal wines are not heated to a boiling temperature. Thanks to modern-day technology, mevushal wines are flash-pasteurized to a temperature that meets the requirements of an overseeing rabbi. The technique does not noticeably harm the wine. In fact, flash-pasteurization is used at a number of very well known non-kosher wineries, where it is thought to improve certain aromatics.
- For Jews, however, the technique simply alters the spiritual quality of a kosher wine, making it less susceptible to ritual proscription. That means anyone—whether kosher or not—can open a bottle of mevushal wine and have it retain its kosher status. Non-mevushal, wines are more sensitive to religious constraints and must be opened and poured only by Sabbath-observant Jews.
