Old advertisements in the Jewish Chronicle used to cry out: ‘ Let your Seder Table help the Jewish Colonists by insisting upon Palwin!’

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. For international customers: The center is staffed and provides answers on Sundays through Thursdays between 7AM and 14PM Israel time Toll 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. 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. 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.

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. 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. 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.

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.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. 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. Palwin is the name of the first kosher and Israeli wine brand. It has now flourished in three separate centuries, the 19 th, 20 th and 21 st, but outside Great Britain, it is scarcely known. However Palwin became part of the history and fabric of Jewish communal life in the United Kingdom and there is no British Jew, who is not familiar with Palwin wines. It became as strong a brand in the UK, as Manischevitz was in the USA. If Manischevitz is the byword for Kiddush wine in America, Palwin is the same in England.

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. The number of Palwin wines was whittled down to four. These were numbered 10, 11, 4 and 4a. The difference between them was basically alcohol content. The No. 10 was 12.5% alcohol and the No. 11 was 13%. The No. 4 was 14% and the 4a was a liqueur wine weighing in at a hefty 15.5%. 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. The center is staffed and provides answers on Sundays through Thursdays between 07:00 AM and 14:00 PM and Fridays only handles distribution requests between 7:00 AM and 12:30 PM

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.
