Two Popular Zakon Wines Return to Stores

By COLlive reporter

Joseph Zakon Winery, a leading producer of fine wines, is pleased to announce the return of Eminent Passover Wine and Red Muscatini Wine in mevushal and non-mevushal styles.

Rabbi Avrohom Osdoba, Av Bais Din of Crown Heights, recently traveled to supervise the new bottling of both the Eminent Passover wine.

Following a period of high demand and limited availability, Joseph Zakon Winery has bottled the new vintages of both these beloved wines, providing customers with access to the flavors they know and love.

The Eminent, with the label “Joy will break through all barriers,” is a semi-dry low alcohol wine (7% alcohol), made with the finest grapes in the beautiful New York State Finger Lakes region, making sure the grapes will attain optimum sugar-acid balance during harvest.

“We carefully fermented the crushed grapes at very cold temperatures using only the natural yeasts on the grapes,” says the winemaker Yossi Zakon.

Popularly known as Eminent Dry, this wine has become ubiquitous at the Pesach Seder table. Its famous slogan is, “How to keep your KUP (head in Yiddish) after the four CUPS.”

“This wine has allowed one to sit through the Seder all the way to Hallel without the after-effects of too much alcohol consumption,” Zakon says.

“The reason we stop the fermentation at 7% alcohol, is considering the USA government regulations, which do not consider a drink to be actual wine if it has less than 7% alcohol by volume,” he explains.

Red Muscatini is a delightfully fresh semi-sweet wine, with outstanding fruity aromas and flavors.

Both are now available once again in stores.
