AI Does Kosher Wine: 10 Popular Kosher Wines as Selected by ChatGPT

I’m fairly impressed. Well, let's just say ChatGPT has a "grape" deal of knowledge about wine, and being an AI language model, it doesn’t have taste buds to indulge in the wine itself, so it compensates by learning all there is to know about it. Plus, as a language model, it’s always "fermenting" new information, so it’s constantly updating its "vintage" of knowledge. It may not not be able to drink wine, but  it can certainly "pour" out some great information about it!

Enough with the AI Puns!

In addition to adhering to Jewish dietary laws, Kosher wine producers in Israel must also follow ancient agricultural laws that date back to the Bible. These laws include a prohibition on using grapes from the vine for wine production during the first three years, known as Orlah, and only allowing the use of grapes for wine production in the fourth year.

Mevushal wine is simply a Kosher wine that has undergone a special process, לבשל (l'vashel- to cook). This process involves heating the wine to a high temperature, typically around 180 degrees Fahrenheit, for a short period of time. This process is intended to ensure that the wine can be handled and served by non-Jewish individuals without compromising its Kosher status.
