Moshe on Kosher

Our Friend, Moshe, of the Kosher Wine Review answers our questions about rules & regulations on Kosher wine:

"Non-Jews may handle properly sealed bottles and casks of wine; but if they open, pour, or otherwise handle the wine after it has been opened, the wine is no longer kosher. There is a loophole: wine that's been heated is exempt from this rule. This kind of wine is called "Mevushal," which means "cooked." Because restaurants and hotels have both Jewish and non-Jewish employees, kosher restaurants and kosher banquets almost always serve mevushal wine exclusively."
