12 Mistakes to Avoid When Buying Kosher Wine

Getting the most out of every bottle you buy is important. Avoid these common mistakes so that you enjoy your wine as much as possible.

1 – Sticking With The Same Wines Every Time

Without the ability to host guests or eat out, good wine is the perfect way to elevate any Shabbos or Yom Tov Meal.

6 – Assuming All Mevushal Wines Are Inferior

Did you know that Herzog, one of the best Kosher wineries in the world produces mostly Mevushal wines? A famous wine critic once gave a Mevushal wine a score of 93 and aging potential up to 13 years. There are many choices when it comes to Mevushal wines, so don’t be afraid to ask us for help with them!

7 – Drinking Too Soon After Opening It

While many wines can be enjoyed young, there are some wines that can benefit from being put away in a cellar for a few years. Decanting those younger wines is a great way to improve their taste, as wine that is exposed to oxygen will soften the tannins and allow the fruit flavors to really stand out.

8 – Keeping The Bottle Too Long After Opening

Like most things, wine has an expiration date. Most wines can last up to 3 to 4 days after being opened, as long as you put the cork back in the bottle and refrigerate it or store it in a cool place. If the wine stays open too long, the flavor and texture of the wine will go flat. Wine has a very short shelf life after it’s been exposed to oxygen.

9 – Serving Wine At The Wrong Temperature

Red wines tend to be served best when at room temperature, while white wines are most enjoyable when chilled. It’s important not to serve wine too cold, as you’d risk hiding some of the fruit flavors of the wine. The best way to find out is by experimenting and finding what best suits your palate.

10 - Storing Wine At The Wrong Temperature

When storing wine for the long term, we recommend keeping the bottles in a cool dark place, as if the wine gets too hot it can risk losing some of its flavor. The most important thing to remember is that wine should always be stored at a constant temperature.

11 – Judging A Bottle By Its Cover

Pretty designs on wine bottles don’t necessarily guarantee quality! Try the Jezreel Pet Nat Sparkling Rose 2019 for a wine that tastes as great as it looks.

12 – Not Sharing With Friends
