Kosher Bordeaux wines
A kosher wine is a wine made according to very strict
rules under the supervision of a rabby. This product, which belongs
to the Jewish religion and traditions, is mostly produced in Israel
and in the US, with each country selling about 30 million bottles
per year. In France, 7 million bottles of Kosher wines are currently
produced. 70% of this production comes from Bordeaux, the rest is
mainly from Champagne and Languedoc. In Bordeaux, the market is currently
significantly expanding, both for home consumption and exports: an
exclusively kosher wine negociant has recently been set up in Bordeaux
to meet the high demand, a team of 40 people is already in charge
of the kosher winemaking supervision in Gironde, and more and more
Classified Greath Growth turn a small part of their crop to kosher
wines. Bordeaux is not the only one to react to this demand: Cognac
should soon release a Kosher XO long-awaited by the Jewish community.
