At London Wine Fair, we learned, from two jolly gentlemen, John and Josh, that Israelis were pioneers of drip irrigation.
Their vines did not suffer from phyloxera, which devastated French, Spanish and European vines in the last century, and attacked our vines in London this year, 2025. However, Israel's vines had a virus, so the growers replanted.
Vines have been cultivated for wine since the time of The Temple, and Jesus served wine at the Last Supper. But what about recent times?
Very interesting to hear about the vineyards and the past. But what sort of wine can you buy nowadays?
Sparkling moscato with pink foil, brand Bartenura, at only £16 retail.
Even better value the Moscato D'Asti. Popular for a party.
The Asti of course is from Italy. That's not from Israel. Not all kosher wine is from Israel. £12, sometimes even £10 on discount.
Lychee wine in cans. Buy from Tesco, Wembley and online in Amazon.
When would you need it? At a family or business or club event with even only one person drinking kosher wine, or just adventurous drinkers, cans of lychee moscato, only 5% alcohol.
From a wine shop in Hendon called The Grapevine. 1848 winery, Modem mountain winery, Carmel.
For a special occasion, birthdays, an 80th birthday celebration, you have lots of options of unusual kosher wines at all alcohol levels and prices.
Legal, odor mountain winery
A Prosecco, at retail about £18 to £20, sells as a party drink. Label Verawang, green label glows in the dark!
