Wine must be made by Jews for it to be considered Kosher. This comes from the fact that wine was often used in pagan ceremonies and was sanctified during the preparation process.
Jewish symbols are used to indicate a product is kosher. The most common are K inside a circle, which stands for "kosher," and an U inside a circle, the certification symbol of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations.
To constitute as kosher, a meal cannot contain both meat and dairy. Most wait between three to six hours after a meat meal before consuming dairy products. By contrast, one only needs to rinse one's mouth and eat a pareve food after consuming dairy products to be able to eat meat
Kashrut extends to non-food products. Utensils like pots, pans, sinks, dishwashers, potholders and plates take on the status of the food they touch in the presence of heat.
Kiddush cups have a special place under the chuppah for one of our favorite parts of the ceremony โ the wine! What did you most enjoy about you wedding?
