Europe’s largest kosher wine-tasting event coming to London in February
Jewish participants in 'Dry January', where people abstain from drinking alcohol, will be able to sample some f the best wines on offer next month
Jewish foodies suffering through ‘Dry January’ have been shown light at the end of the tunnel, with the Kosher Food and Wine Experience lined up for the Sheraton Grand London Park Lane in early February.
Europe’s largest kosher wine-tasting event will hit the capital on 6 February with visitors invited to sample the fruit of vines from France, Italy, Israel, Spain, Argentina, Chile, America, Australia and New Zealand.
Embracing the January trend, organisers said the event would even feature vegan wines for 2019, while whisky-lovers will get a wee dram from leading distilleries Tomintoul and Glencadam.
Renowned kosher caterer Arieh Wagner and his team are set to serve up salt beef, tables of sushi and a selection of desserts to wash the wine down with, as organisers said this year was all about new rosés, sparkling wines, Prosecco and Champagne.
“Sparkling wine is now very fashionable all over the world,” said Benjamin Gestetner of Kedem Europe.
“At the show we will be taking the opportunity to showcase the huge range of kosher sparkling wines being produced in America, France, Italy and Spain. There will be tastings of Champagne, Cava, Prosecco, and some sweet sparkling wine too. We really want people to experience everything there is out there.”

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
