Palwin No.10 Menorah Red Kosher Wine, 75cl

Product Information

On the forming of the State of Israel, the company name of the UK subsidiary was changed from Palestine Wine to the Carmel Wine Co. and the name Palwin then became specifically associated with a brand of Kiddush or sacramental wines rather than the full portfolio. As the war against Hamas unfolds, our unwavering newsroom remains committed to covering Israel's most profound crisis. It is used predominantly as kiddush or communion wine and the difference between the ranges is the alcoholic content: Palwin No 10 is 12.5 per cent alcohol; No 4 is 14.5 per cent.

Palwin no. 10 (‘Menorah’) is available from the Kosher sections of major UK supermarkets, as well as independent kosher shops and wine merchants. Happy Chanukah! Pastry for mince pies – Rich and buttery The butter pastry for these pies, while simple, is utterly fabulous. If you have no reason to make them parve, I urge you to eschew the margarine. Make these mince pies with butter instead – you won’t regret it. And since they’re already milchig you might as well serve them with a dollop of cream… Chanukah mince pies – ingredients Tools and services JPost Premium Ulpan Online JPost Newsletter Our Magazines Learn Hebrew RSS feed JPost.com Archive Digital Library Lists of Jewish holidays Law Palwin wines were launched in the 19 th century and they were prominent in every Jewish home throughout the 20 th century. Old advertisements in the Jewish Chronicle used to cry out: ‘ Let your Seder Table help the Jewish Colonists by insisting upon Palwin!’ Palwin wine, Israel’s oldest brand, was first produced by the Palestine Wine and Trading Company which was formed in England in 1898. It is now only sold in the UK.Many people’s perception of Palwin has often been ruined by tasting from an already opened bottle that has sat on the sideboard for half a year or more. At its freshest, it represents a better kiddush wine than most. It is used throughout the year but seems particularly suited to Chanukah recipes as it is also called ‘Menorah’! Palwin no. 10 is made from freshly gathered wine grapes, without the addition of water or sugar – a rarity among kiddush wines – making it less sweet and more ‘winey’ than some others. The grape varieties used are mainly Carignan, but also a little Petite Sirah and Argaman, grown in the coastal regions of Israel. The wines are made by a mistelle – adding natural grape juice for sweetness rather than using artificial sweeteners. The resulting wines are less sweet and more wine-like than many of the other kiddush wines on the market. Mincemeat usually has a good slug of alcohol in it, and I’ve used Palwin sweet red kiddush wine (plus a splash of rum), to give a really wonderful Chanukah flavour. An oldie and a goodie

Palwin wines have a long tradition here in the UK. They first appeared in 1898, and Palwin is probably the oldest kosher wine brand still in existence. Palwin no. 10 is a sweet, red, dessert wine usually used for kiddush. The story began in 1898, when a wine import and marketing company was opened in London by the Rishon Le Zion & Zichron Ya’acov Wine Cellars. Their British subsidiary initially traded as The Palestine Wine & Trading Co. Then the word Palestine was the term used for local enterprises. There were some other notable examples. ‘The Palestine Bank’ was founded and later renamed Bank Leumi, and the quality newspaper for English speakers, ‘Palestine Post ‘, was later renamed The Jerusalem Post. window, document, "script", "https://95662602.adoric-om.com/adoric.js", "Adoric_Script", "adoric","9cc40a7455aa779b8031bd738f77ccf1", "data-key");Even at the beginning of the 21 st century, Palwin still features prominently, despite all the new quality options the wine lover has to choose from. Today the only survivor is Palwin Menorah No. 10, to give its full name, but it is known simply as No. 10. The customer going into a shop and asking for ‘ a bottle of No.10 please’ will receive what he wants.

However, this is not the reason we do not serve Palwin at the dinner table. Nobody has ever served Palwin at the dinner table, in the same way that nobody would ever serve cough medicine at the dinner table — although to be honest, if you are looking for bouquet, body and subtlety of flavour, you would better off going with the Benylin. Right up until the early 1970’s, these wines were shipped from Israel in large barrels and were then bottled under the Palwin label in London. Since then, they have been bottled at Rishon Le Zion Cellars. For international customers: The center is staffed and provides answers on Sundays through Thursdays between 7AM and 14PM Israel time Toll During the time Palwin was the brand name of the UK subsidiary, every wine they produced, whether dry or sweet, was branded Palwin and intriguingly, each bottle was identified by a number. This was not just for sweet wines, but also for dry wines, aperitifs, brandies and liqueurs. For instance there was a dry red wine called Superior Claret which was Palwin No. 2, a dry white wine was called Palwin No. 3 and there was a brandy known as Palwin No.5.The Palestine Wine Company started marketing wines with the name ‘Palwin’, which was an abbreviation for ‘ Palestine wine’. Palwin was the first brand sold in export markets by the Israeli wine industry and it is also arguably the oldest wine brand still in existence in the kosher wine world. Traditional mincemeat is made weeks in advance of using and ‘matured’ in jars before filling pies. I’m not that organised, sadly, so I’ve concocted this recipe for ‘instant mincemeat’ which you can whip together on the day you want to use it, and is 98% as good – close enough as far as I’m concerned. More than 100,000 bottles of Palwin wine are produced every year by the Israeli winery, Carmel, solely for the British market, but customers have reported a shortage in recent months. Its unique flavour is instantly recognisable to the majority of British Jews. I think its fruity richness goes brilliantly with the dried fruits, spices and nuts in these delicious Chanukah mince pies.
