Dear Friend:

Thank you for your question concerning the difference between kosher and nonkosher wines.

The term KOSHER means "sanctioned by Jewish law." It refers to food being fit for ritual use according to the traditions of the Jewish religious community. Other than this religious significance, there is no distinction between wines labeled KOSHER and those which are not.

Whenever we may assist you further with your study of the Bible or in Christian living, we hope you will let us know. It is our pleasure to serve you.
