All grape wine is terrible.

And here's Manischewitz's other big product. Matzo is super bland by itself but there are some decent recipes made from it.

>>6382575
Question from the goyim: are there legit passover wines? Or are you required by G-d to drink shit wine?

>>6382630
There are a lot of kosher wineries making decent wine these days.

Concord wine is a holdover from the early 20th century when Americans didn't drink much wine and jelly grapes were the only grapes you could get in bulk in New York. Now it's just traditional.

>>6382630
Im sure there are other wines out there that are kosher for passover but like, manischewitz is tradition at this point. its just kind of what you drink.

>>6382655
>There are a lot of kosher wineries making decent wine these days.
There are world class kosher wines out there. Except meshuval wines - they are always shit, because there's no way to make cooked wine delicious.

what do you eat at the seder

>>6382686
We usually start with gefilte fish. It tastes awful but slather a bunch of beet horseradish on it and you'll forget what you're eating.

>>6382686
gefilte fish - basically a cold meatball made out of whitefish
eat plain, or with horseradish on matzo

Matzo ball soup- basic chicken soup with celery onions and carrots, with matzo balls. basically a dumpling.

Charoset- a mixture of apples/fruit/nuts/cinnamon and some wine (recipe can vary heavily for family recipes)

celery/parsley with salt water

macaroons are these little coconut based deserts that are garbage.

Those are the traditional mainstays at least for my family.
Pot Roast can be in there too.

> modern world
> religions with food restrictions

>>6382796

Jews are not bothering you. Let them do their religious stuff.

I do not think it's required to have restrictions if you're Jewish. I know some people don't circumcise

>>6382682
But are they world class wines that are kosher, or just world class kosher wines?

I've seen that Galilee stuff but I've never bought it because it's made on stolen land. I'd be totally down to try a good kosher wine if it was made ethically, got any recommendations?

>>6382941
>got any recommendations?
Not off the top of my head, sorry. I'm a goy, and when I was in the wine business I never dealt with the kosher wines. From what I understand if I were to open a bottle of kosher wine that would make it not kosher anymore (unless it's that meshuval crap). How the fuck could I have sold them when I'm not allowed to even pour them? I have tried a few good kosher wines in my day, but never remembered the names of them because I have no reason to buy them.

But I'm sure if you went to a wine shop in a place where a decent concentration of affluent Jews live you'll find something. Very few modern Jews are drinking thick, sweet wines if they can help it.

>>6382796
Im not observant at the moment, i wasnt even raised very observant. I just have an appreciation for my cultural/religious history. Its a hassle and part of why im not observant.

>>6382828
It depends on what sect you belong to, and what teachings you choose to follow. Judaism has what is called "halakha" which essentially are rules and precedents that arent stated in the Torah but rather made by rabbis that over the centuries have become to be taken as law as well.
A reform or maybe even conservative person would agree with you but anyone who calls themselves orthodox or hassidic would scoff at you for saying that.

Cheers anon!

That wine needs Everclear to be complete.

>manischewitz
Oh god my liquor store has the dustiest bottles of this stuff. Cheap and hella sweet. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't so cloyingly sweet.

>>6383480
My Grandma drinks this stuff, and she's 98 years old. I seriously think this stuff has made her immortal.

I like Manischewitz. Try mulling it, it's great for mulling.

Royal Wine is the biggest California kosher winery I think. They have two major brands - Herzog for real wine and Kedem for the sticky sweet stuff.

>Charoset

>>6384825
I WANT IT SO BAD.
too bad its only available in israel.
makes me sad.
Charoset is delicious.
My family reciple is pretty simple,
4 large apples, diced (macintosh is the usual but any medium sweet red is fine)
a small bag of chopped walnuts
cinnamon (to taste, we do a decent amount)
honey (enough the entire mixture is somewhat sticky)
and couple splashes of manischewitz for taste and color

>>6385509
So ancient Jews had apples? Seems like this would use dates or figs.

>>6385931
>family recipe
It comes from my moms family who grew up pretty poor, so it was probably cheaper for them to do apples.

I have recipes that use dates and figs instead, i just prefer the family one cause thats what i grew up with y'know?
