Royal Wine elevates Rosh Hashanah with exceptional Israeli wines
As Jews prepare to usher in Rosh Hashanah, wine will again take a central place in the celebration; symbolizing joy, sanctity, and blessing, its sweetness is often paired with festive dishes to express the hope for a sweet year.
For Rosh Hashanah 5786, Royal Wine Corp. — the world’s largest producer, importer, and exporter of kosher wines and spirits — is spotlighting a remarkable lineup from Israel’s most acclaimed wineries, blending ancient heritage with world-class craftsmanship.
“There is something profound about celebrating Rosh Hashanah with wines from Israel,” said Gabriel Geller, director of public relations and manager of wine education at Royal Wine Corp. “Beyond their spiritual resonance, these wines are now recognized for their quality, character, and complexity.”
