For many years, kosher wine was mainly wine of inferior quality, usually imbibed only for Kiddush and Havdalah.

Kosher l’mehadrin wines even win gold medals in international wine fairs. Kosher wine has definitely come of age, and its maturity is delicious.

Playing a certain type of music can enhance the way wine tastes, research by psychologists suggests.

The Heriot Watt University study found people rated the change in taste by up to 60% depending on the melody heard.

The researchers said cabernet sauvignon was most affected by "powerful and heavy" music, and chardonnay by "zingy and refreshing" sounds.

Some wine grape growers turning to dry farming methods

Although this is a general Wine article, this method of irrigation has been used in Israel and continues to be studied….

KENWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Vineyard manager Steve Thomas grasps the trunk of a zinfandel vine, a redwood of the vineyard, gnarled with age and planted in the days when irrigation meant a barrel of water on a horse-drawn cart.
