Manischewitz Kosher 4 Gentiles?!?

[Jerushabelle]

I can't believe people drink Manischewitz!
Must only be non-Jews that drink it, I can't remember last
time I saw in on someones table, if ever, LOL.

Eh, it tastes good! So what do you use? I'm a willing convert! LOL

 

[Henaynei]

LOL - It's about the only wine I can tolerate - I don't really like "normal" wines, even "really good" ones...
Also, more savvy kosher wines are also more pricey.

I just bought it in Winn Dixie over the holidays..

Just here to comment on the curious thread title, and now I see "Winn Dixie?"
ACK haven't even heard that term in forever

I actually don't even like wine! However, this is popular and I can drink it
(although I don't usually) because it's very sweet. I've probably got a dozen bottles of various wines sitting at the
condo that people have brought for shabbas. I don't even know what they are since I don't like
alcohol. I'll have to see what's there. Usually I just take a bottle from my "cellar" and give it to
someone else for shabbas when I'm at their house. Kind of like the joke of the fruit cake that keeps
getting passed from person to person during "that" holiday, LOL.

I am not a wine person.. for the most part.. but one evening dinning at home with friends over, they bring this wine. Now I really do not like the smell of fermentation.. but I must say.. Low in alcohol, semi-sparkling, but remarkably fruity and fragrant, it has an excellent balance of sweetness and acidity.

V, is it kosher?

I can't quite make out the whole name...

I found one place that sells it and it doesn't appear on the kosher list. It sounds like one I'd like to try though.

 

[visionary]

It is not kosher... but I was pleasantly surprised at its taste.

Thanks a bunch! I'll give it a whirl!

don't forget Kosher salt........ almost all families have it..

Many chefs use it because it is a purer salt than table salt but it is improperly named, as it should read, Kashering salt. I use it for cooking as well.

I use it for making Sauerkraut... no iodine to interfere with the fermentation.

Not a good "table" wine, but a great desert wine, or just to sip and enjoy.

I've never tried the more "upscale" Kosher table wines; we have such a small Jewish community in my city that the LCBO does not stock anything but Mogen David (many Lutheran, Anglican, and some RC Churches use is for the Eucharist). Next time I get to Toronto, Windsor or Hamilton, I'm going grab a few different ones and try them!

I think someone should start a thread about Kosher wines, where members could give reviews... likes and dislikes.

I understand that some Gentiles buy kosher because they do believe it
is healthier (if only they knew....LOL).

Kosher shwarma (the only kind that I know) is no less fattening. It's covered in grease and fat. Not healthy at all, but kosher through and through!

 

[Henaynei]

Kosher is not about health, even though people have tried to "justify" kosher with their own reasons. G-d gave the reason, to set a people apart as uniquely His.
Kosher is about obedience, not health or food preservation practices, or lack there of.
I often describe keeping kosher when inquired, as a continual fast of obedience.

I Love This Kid....

My Favourite Animal

Our teacher asked what my favourite animal was, and I said, "Fried
chicken."

She said I wasn't funny, but she couldn't have been right, because everyone
else laughed.

My parents told me to always tell the truth. I did. Fried chicken is my
favourite animal.

I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member
of PETA.

He said they love animals very much.

I do, too. Especially chicken, beef and fish. Anyway, my teacher sent me
to the principal's office. I told him what happened, and he laughed, too. Then he told me not to do it again.

The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favourite live animal
was.

I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, so I told her it was because
you could make them into ....fried chicken.

She sent me back to the principal's office.
He laughed, and told me not to do it again.

I don't understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn't like it when I
am.

Today, my teacher asked us to tell her what famous person we admire most.

I told her, "Colonel Sanders".

Guess where I am now...

V, is it kosher?

It's an Italian wine

 

[Henaynei]

It's an Italian wine

Thanks
Then I guess it's not kosher?

 

[Lulav]

I would think not, especially with what looks like an ancient drawing of the 'god' Dionysus on the label.

There is a Moscato white that is Kosher (OU)

Bartenura Moscato 2010

Do Messianics tend to only drink kosher wine?

 

[ChavaK]

Do Messianics tend to only drink kosher wine?

And if so, what is reasoning for doing so?

 

[pat34lee]

Unless it is offered to idols, is there even such thing as unkosher wine, biblically speaking?

 

[Henaynei]

Unless it is offered to idols, is there even such thing as unkosher wine, biblically speaking?

Certainly, even more so these days than in the past. Any number of ingredients or manufacturing processes could violate biblical kashrut.
