An Al-Jazeera columnist has accused the author of being “drunk on Zion” and “wine-washing the occupation.” I am exceedingly proud to wear these epithets.
I usually use the dry wine we are going to drink with the meal for Kiddush. Rosh Hashanah is the only time when I actually recommend a sweet wine for the blessing.
I suppose Israeli wine is a story of 35 years of famine, followed by 40 years of plenty. These are some of the names that represent 75 years of Israeli wine.
As you consider what to bring in the New Year with, uncorking a pét-nat (or rather taking off the crown top closure!) is a fun way of being original and doing things differently.
