Welcome to The Kosher Wine Review. We provide: reviews of strictly kosher wines from around the world; advice and consulting for wine connoisseurs; professional reviews and articles for newspapers, magazines, web sites, and other media.

We have reviews of wines from Israel, the United States, South Africa, Australia, Chile, Argentina, Austria, and France, as well as a surprising number of other countries. Kosher wines are often good, sometimes excellent, and occasionally outstanding; kosher wines can be just as rewarding as any other wine.

On this web site you can search for wines, read about kosher wine etiquette, find out what makes a wine kosher, or contact us.

The Kosher Wine Review has a new look and some great new advantages:

• Searching for wines is far, far easier. You should definitely try the "Guided Search" — click on "Search Wines" at the top of the page for to get to the search page.
• You can subscribe to an RSS feed of this site to get all new updates. Click here or just enter the URL of this site into your RSS reader.
• Also on the left-hand side of the this page, a list of the last five reviews.

Finally, this system supports guest comments and even guest wine reviews. I won't open comments to the wide world — unfortunately any site can be the target of spam, and any site with Jewish-related content is vulnerable to antisemitic attacks — but if you drop me a line we can discuss adding you to the list of authorized users.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my readers, my fellow tasters, those dedicated vinters who create kosher wine, and my patient spouse for helping make The Kosher Wine Review what it is today.

The most unusual question I've received to date is from Kehillat Beijing, the Jewish community of Beijing, China (with perhaps the best natural pun I've seen in a while: their web site is at "Sinogogue").

Given the difficulty of importing kosher wines, they can only choose one wine for Passover this year: The cost has to be reasonable; the wine must appeal to a wide range of palates; the prices must be reasonable; imports are available from only a handful of countries; and they can only choose one wine.

I'll reveal my selection here sometime soon. This is the closest I've ever come to the problem of "If you can only have one wine with you on a desert island..."
