What wine should I be drinking at my Seder? It’s a common question, but one that is impossible to answer. It depends on people’s personal preference, their budget, whether they are seeking low alcohol wines or not, if they want to try something new to market, or even if a person is seeking that “trophy” wine to proudly display alongside the Cup of Eliyahu (Elijah). This Passover we will cover all of those subjects.
First, are wines for the seder. And yes, we do drink low alcohol wines when it comes to the Arba cosot (4 cups)…it keeps us awake, aware and looking forward to that special wine served at the meal!
GKC friends at Royal Wine helped us choose the, drum roll please…
