Good Kosher Wine
“Good kosher wine” is an oxymoron of sorts. No wine afficianado would reach for a kosher wine, and most people frown in disgust when they taste it. I remember the first time I had it, and it basically tasted like bad grape juice. Very nasty! The bowl available for spitting quickly filled with Kosher wine at the tasting.
However, it seems that kosher wine has entered something of a Renaissance, and there are now decent kosher wines available. It’s made all over the world and from more than just the Concord grape. Also, much of it is no longer boiled. As most people know, heat of any sort will destroy your wine, which is why it’s stored in cool cellars rather than by fireplaces.
The kosher booze listed runs the entire gamut, including a rose Champagne, sparkling wine, vodka, chardonnay, and red wines. No longer do you need to fear the drink at your next Jewish gathering. Instead, you’ll just need to fear the ensuing hangover.

I agree. Personally on my last visit to Israel, there were quite a few very quality kosher wines available. There has even been a new kosher brandy marketed.
Very tasty as well.
Just my tip
