Hi Came across this forum whilst doing a google search on Palwin wines (trying to decide on a nice one ) It was mentioned that most wines are fine for general Jewish consumption apart from not having the certification. You might be interested in the following link: http://homepage.tinet.ie/~thewub/vegan/wine.html It lists the vegan wines......ie the ones that will have no animal or dairy products in them. That is about as safe as you can get without going kosher certified. Vegetarian wines will also be OK if you don't mind the idea of battery hen's eggs (blood spots and all) being possibly used somewhere in the process. Like bread and the dreaded E472e additive, all sorts can be added to wine that is decidedly non-kosher! Gelatine, for instance, and what is the betting it is pork gelatine Oh, one more link for the curious: http://www.carmel-food.com/kosher.htm Explains all about what makes kosher wine kosher :) HTH Fen
