With Passover beginning April 1, it’s the perfect time to spotlight how far kosher for Passover wines have come. Today’s bottles are award-winning, estate-grown, and produced in top regions like Napa Valley, Bordeaux, and Israel. They’re dry, complex, and food-friendly — not the overly sweet wines many people remember.
Nearly 40% of all kosher wine sales occur during Passover and ENTREE likes celebrity wines from Vera Wang, Isiah Thomas & Amar’e Stoudemire—all Kosher for Passover. They are curated by Royal Wine Corp, the world’s largest producer and importer of kosher wines & spirits with Passover selections range from $10 to $500.
At Passover, families around the world gather for the Seder, retelling the story of the Exodus—and raising four cups of wine to mark freedom and tradition. Today, wine has become one of the most anticipated elements of the Passover table, and for 2026, kosher wine lovers can celebrate with an extraordinary lineup that blends celebrity influence, global prestige, and award-winning quality.

Why Kosher Wine Is Thriving
According to Jay Buchsbaum, VP & Director of Wine Education at Royal Wine Corp.:
“Simply put, kosher wine is produced using the same fermentation methods as traditional wine. The difference is that all ingredients must be kosher-certified, and the winemaking process is supervised and carried out by Sabbath-observant Jews. Beyond that, kosher wine is no different from any other high-quality wine—and today, it often rivals the very best.”
